Simplified material on testing, refactoring, design patterns, and functional programming to give the reader a basic overview of each and a taste of what they have to offer.
Has some misunderstandings about basic JavaScript, but nothing that prevents you from getting something from the material. Also, the Sanctuary JS material is already out of date, but that comes with the territory of using a library still in beta. Thankfully, it is easy enough to convert and gets you digging into their documentation.
Overall, a recommended read for people who believe that you can only solve problems in a certain subset of ways in JavaScript.

The sections on jQuery, Backbone, and Knockout aren't as essential as they used to be, but still provide useful context. It's important to remember how much of a wild west the JS ecosystem was, and how far we've come, but also how simple JS remains and how much you can do without requiring massive frameworks or libraries. These patterns are useful and used today, and will continue to outlive the framework du jour
