    @a("Scala.js", href:="http://www.scala-js.org/") is a compiler that compiles Scala source code to equivalent Javascript code. That lets you write Scala code that you can run in a web browser, or other environments (Chrome plugins, Node.js, etc.) where Javascript is supported.

  @p
    This book contains something for all levels of experience with Scala.js: absolute beginners can get started with the Introduction and Hands-on tutorial, people who have used it before can skip ahead to the later parts of the tutorial, building a canvas app or dynamic HTML page. Intermediate users will find the chapters on cross-publishing a Scala.js library interesting, and even experienced users will find the In-depth Documention useful.

    This half of the book dives into a few aspects of Scala.js much more deeply that the hands-on introduction does. It's aimed at someone who has already used Scala.js, and wants to explore the edge-cases or how things work under-the-cover. It's not a formal specification; rather, it's aim is to be a useful reference to read instead of (or in preparation for) digging into the implementation code.
