Java Script and J Script

This book I bought from Pakistan and found it excelent to learn Java Script basics. The book's start is very organized and well written but became little confuzing at the end. The book is not crystal clear about the differences in J Script & Java Script and do not tell how to find its alternate in each other respectively. It becomes fuzzy when writer explains about Live Wire programming, otherwise it excelent.I will rate it most suitable for those how want to learn Java Script from the scratch as it covers all basic building blocks an average programmer may require.

This book is excellent

Jaworski explains not only the syntax but basic principles behind the programming. Very handy for anyone, regardless of programming experience!The book will help you to get started very, very quickly. There are great examples, showing you exactly what you can do with Javascript.I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this book - my copy has yet to see my shelf!

A handy day-to-day reference document

I found this book to be very useful. There are many examples that are helpful in developing your JavaScript skills, and there are several more advanced sections that include explaining how JavaScript can be used to link with Java and ActiveX. This book truly helped me develop from a beginner at JavaScript to an expert. My experience before this book was that I was an HTML expert, but didn't have a clue about JavaScript. I am currently doing some web page development work and I routinely reference this book to refresh my memory. I highly recommend this book, though it may be getting out of date a bit, but since there are still many people using Version 4 browsers, this book will ensure you are writing JavaScript code that can be used by most anyone, not just IE5.0 users.

The best JScript book ever read

I bought this book in March 99, fresh from the presses, and build a 100.000's$ project with it.It realy is great. I'm not a C++ programmer but an advanced CFML and HTML programmer. The other readers might not like this book, because hey have to much or not enough knowledge of Internet programming languages - I guess.This book contains the information I was looking for.
