 # Manuals and specifications
 
-This book is a *tutorial*. It aims to help you gradually learn the language. But once you're familiar with the basics, you'll need other resources.

 ## Specification
 
-[The ECMA-262 specification](https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm) contains the most in-depth, detailed and formalized information about JavaScript. It defines the language.
+The ECMA-262 specification defines the JavaScript language. The formal document is not for everyday use as it's difficult to understand at first. If you need the most trustworthy source of information about the language details, the specification is the right place. A new specification version is released every year. 
 
-But being that formalized, it's difficult to understand at first. So if you need the most trustworthy source of information about the language details, the specification is the right place. But it's not for everyday use.
-
-A new specification version is released every year. Between these releases, the latest specification draft is at <https://tc39.es/ecma262/>.
-
-To read about new bleeding-edge features, including those that are "almost standard" (so-called "stage 3"), see proposals at <https://github.com/tc39/proposals>.
-
-Also, if you're developing for the browser, then there are other specifications covered in the [second part](info:browser-environment) of the tutorial.

 ## Manuals
 
-- **MDN (Mozilla) JavaScript Reference** is the main manual with examples and other information. It's great to get in-depth information about individual language functions, methods etc.

-Although, it's often best to use an internet search instead. Just use "MDN [term]" in the query, e.g. <https://google.com/search?q=MDN+parseInt> to search for the `parseInt` function.

 ## Compatibility tables
 
 JavaScript is a developing language, new features get added regularly.
 
-To see their support among browser-based and other engines, see:
+To see browser and engine support, see:
 
 - <https://caniuse.com> - per-feature tables of support, e.g. to see which engines support modern cryptography functions: <https://caniuse.com/#feat=cryptography>.
 - <https://kangax.github.io/compat-table> - a table with language features and engines that support those or don't support.
 
 All these resources are useful in real-life development, as they contain valuable information about language details, their support, etc.
