Good but without the CD

Good but without the CD I was expecting to find the CD because the title of this app say with CD

very good stuff!

I just got an advance copy of this book, and I have to say that I think it's very, very good. The examples used in the book are simple to code and easy to understand, and the chapter topics are things that you can actually use - identifying a repeat visitor to a web site, image swapping for a simple animation or slide show, creating an order form that validates user data, and the popular mouseovers for nav bars and other images. What's more, all the code examples are on the CD, so you can load them and begin using them right away for your own site by swapping the variables. I'd recommend this book to anyone just getting their feet wet with JavaScript, or anyone who has to get things up and running quickly in the real world.

For Dummies...?

The CD was missing all of the examples from Chapters 1 - 5! The book itself was not too terribly difficult to follow, however, I had taken a class in JavaScript before, so I had some advantage. It gets into the more obtuse aspects too soon and doesn't give users a chance to "play" with the very basics first.

Great book!

If you have experience in web programming you'll love this book. I've been programming in HTML and JavaScript for a long time and I've never seen a better book on the subject.

Excellent for beginners!

This book explained some concepts of HTML and JavaScript. Definitely a good book to teach the fundamentals of JavaScript and how it can interact with HTML documents.

This book rocks!

This book is the best JavaScript reference I have ever read! It's easy-to-understand and has given me great opportunities. If you are into advanced web programming, buy this book!
