Great for beginner to intermed. level JavaScript programmers

I started programming JavaScript using this book as a reference about a year ago and it's gotten me through a variety of coding situations. This book has a lot of applicable examples to explain the material. I'd highly recommend it as a "must-have" book for people who are just starting out with JavaScript and looking for a book that has working examples.

Best JavaScript Book Available!

For the life of me I don't understand why this book hasn't rated higher here?"JavaScript Unleased" is clearly written with to-the-point explanations. The examples are real world and fit in nicely with each chapter while the book covers the latest version of JavaScript (1.5) completely. The David Flanagan/O'Reilly and Danny Goodman/Bible books are ancient history from 1998 already! I also feel this book is more complete than the Flanagan book and Danny Goodman's explanations are too wordy.If your are an intermediate to experienced developer buy this book you won't regret it.

Just get it!

It's exactly what I wanted! There are many points I recommend this book to you. 1st, it covers the most appropriate issues. Basically, this book focuses on client-side development and covers almost all of it. Some books cover even server-side issues such as servlet, ASP, JSP while they are lacking in the main subject, client-side issues. If we want to learn server-side issues, we can just pick these kinds of books (Sun's JSP book is good). 2nd, it's well organized. For people who don't have a time to read everything, this well-organized book is really helpful. There are 35 chapters and each chapter pick up precise one distinct topic. You can skim and scan whichever you want. 3rd, a lot of useful sample codes and graphical outputs enable us to learn JavaScript easily. The definition of good programming books is how much they contain sample codes. This is it. 4th, If you are beginner for JavaScript, just take this. I'm a Java programmer but I'm a beginner for JavaScript and even HTML. However, this book helped me without any extra beginner books. Anyway, it's worthy of $50.

Review: JavaScript Unleashed - Second Edition

This has to be the best JavaScript refrence available. All the JavaScript is compatiable with version 3.x browsers to help you learn how to write for all web browsers. Also the Electronic library that is included with this title is very helpful. Recomended to ALL web developers who are using JavaScript.

Very good and informational.

This book is the best book for starters and people who want to have a complete JavaScript reference book. I spent 5 hours in book store this summer in the States just looking for the best book for starters, and believe me this is it.
