A step-by-step Javascript beginner self study book

I bought this book when I was curious about Java language. I think Javascript could be a bridge to understand the Java itself. This book is useful for you only if you already know about HTML. If you do not familiar with HTML, I suggest that you read "HTML by example" by Todd Stauffer (QUE edition).This book is a nice introduction to Javascript and is intended "solmnly" for beginner. You will not assumed to understand anything about Javascript before reading this book. The author wrote this book as a step-by-step beginner self study. Any beginner will not be lost and confused, in general.Some example programs might not work as other reviewer stated, but some other examples work. Despite the not-working-example-programs (if any), this book is still very useful for beginner. I think this book should be at least one of Javascript every beginner reference.

Worth what I paid for it

I picked up a copy of this book to learn a bit about Javascript. I thought that the book was well written, geared a bit more towards intermediate users than beginners. What I found interesting, was that it had real world examples in it.I also noted, that many of the reviewers seemed upset with some of the examples. When I loaded older versions of Netscape, it seemed to be more a problem with the netscape javascript interpeter then with the code itself. Also, one should take into account the date of printing. Some research shows that when first published, Netscape 3.0 was in beta. I liked the book. And I honestly think the other reviewers were a bit too harsh.

In general, this book was quite helpful.

I wouldn't recommend reading this book if you have never looked into Javascript before, but if you have a general understanding of the web, HTML, and rudimentary Javascript, it can be very insightful. There are some bugs in the examples, but quite frankly, I have yet to come across a Javascript book that didn't. What I like about the book is that it has real-life examples that you actually could use in your web pages.

Best Javascript book out there.

Every person I spoke too had nothing but accolades for this book. I was a bit skeptical at first, but when I picked myself up a copy, I knew that I had not been mislead. This book guides you step by step through the inner workings of JavaScript, allowing you to work at your own pace. I heartily recommend this book for anyone aspiring to learn JavaScript.
