Editorial Review Product Description The book assumes no prior knowledge in JavaScript or other procedural languages, although familiarity with HTML is best. The well-thought-out text focuses on various programming goals--like rollovers and form validation--instead of the anatomy of the JavaScript language itself. The fast-moving chapters skillfully weave text with example code. Sections of the code and related sections of the accompanying text are numbered--a convention that is very helpful in teaching new techniques, and for quick reference later on. Throughout the book, real-world examples of JavaScript in action, such as a clock script from NASA's site, illustrate its applications. A page from Salon.com, for instance, shows frame techniques, too. Ambitious readers can complete assignments to test their knowledge. The companion CD-ROM contains all of the code, as well as correct answers for the assignments. Of all of the JavaScript tutorials out there, The Book of JavaScript is one of the more engaging and truly effective. --Stephen W. Plain Topics covered: Customer Reviews (35)
Poor quality
Solid material, if somewhat dated... Contents The book is divided into the following chapters: Welcome To JavaScript!; Using Variables and Built-in Functions to Update Your Web Pages Automatically; Give The Browsers What They Want; Rollovers: Everyone's Favorite JavaScript Trick; Opening and Manipulating Windows; Getting Functional: Writing Your Own JavaScript Functions; Giving and Taking Information With Forms; Keeping Track of Information with Arrays and Loops; Timing Events; Frames and Image Maps; Validating Forms, Massaging Strings, and Working with CGI; Cookies; Dynamic HTML; How to Fix Broken Code; Beyond the Browser: Plug-ins, ActiveX, Making Music, and Java; Reference to JavaScript Objects and Functions; Answers to Assignments Review The tone of the author's writing is conversational and a little quirky.He uses a number of examples in each chapter to illustrate the subject matter, and they illustrate the points well.Each example is dissected so that the reader can follow along and understand what each line is doing.By the time you are finished, you should have a solid understanding of the basics of JavaScript.At that point, you should be ready to pick up a more detailed book and start learning the intricacies of the language. The only bad thing about the book at this point in time is the age of the book.He assumes that the reader is working with either Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0.On one hand, most of the stuff you see here should be supported now in any browser.On the other hand, there's something to be said for learning the latest information on more up-to-date platforms.The age also shows up when you examine some of their web site samples.Obviously, the sites have been updated since the book was written, so you can't very well follow along any more. Conclusion
Very practical for beginners but somewhat dated
awesome book!

From a Teacher
Learn QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY It's a no-nonsense approach that teaches you all the fundamentals of javascript without boring you with excessive details. for those who need details or more explainations on javascript, get a companion book with this one and you should be all set. overall, a book that you can learn javascript from scratch, very easily, and a reference for the more advanced programmer. highly recommended.
good book
Good book if you want quick info and know Java already

Editorial Review Product Description Consistent with other members of Peachpit's Visual QuickStart Guideseries, this title makes wise use of side-by-side explanations andscreen shots, as well as code snippets and their analysis. Thisapproach gives readers the feeling that the authors are sitting bytheir side and showing them how to code scripts. Most subjects arehandled with numbered steps, such as "Validating Zip Codes," anduseful tips punctuate the text. The book introduces the wholeconcept of JavaScript in a fast-moving but readable chapter and thenmoves into solving real-world challenges. The authors do a good job ofcovering JavaScript's capabilities, from eye-catching graphics tricksto data-entry form processing and cookie management. Particularlyenjoyable is the way the book spells out many of the differencesbetween Netscape and Microsoft dynamic HTML approaches. TheJavaScript object model is laid out in an appendix, along with objectcompatibility between various browser flavors. To complement the book,the publisher offers a Web site that makes all of the example codeeasily downloadable for your use. This is a great little guide forboth busy coders and JavaScript novices. --Stephen W. Plain Customer Reviews (232)

Not In-depth, Just the Bare Minimal

A+++ work
demonstrates basic ideas well
Not for novice programmers An example: comparison operators are introduced on page 10, when one has no conceivable use for them. And then on page 20, we get to loops, and on page 21, conditional statements. You just can't pick up javascript this way unless you already know how to program. This is probably a fine book for folks who already know how to program, but want to pick up javascript. But OTOH, if you already know how to program, aren't you ready for the O'Reilly Javascript books? I'm not sure what this book's niche is. I thought the web wizard's series was for novices.

Editorial Review Product Description As web browsers have become more capable and standards compliant, JavaScript has grown in prominence. JavaScript lets designers add sparkle and life to web pages, while more complex JavaScript has led to the rise of Ajax -- the latest rage in web development that allows developers to create powerful and more responsive applications in the browser window. Learning JavaScript introduces this powerful scripting language to web designers and developers in easy-to-understand terms. Using the latest examples from modern browser development practices, this book teaches you how to integrate the language with the browser environment, and how to practice proper coding techniques for standards-compliant web sites. By the end of the book, you'll be able to use all of the JavaScript language and many of the object models provided by web browsers, and you'll even be able to create a basic Ajax application.
