The ABCs of JavaScript

by Mary Jane Mara and Lee Purcell

JavaScript is an Internet publishing language which allows all levels of user to create and insert Java applets into their home pages. This book teaches JavaScript using an informal approach and a three-part discussion of the language: an overview shows the reader what can be done; a look at the language itself shows the reader how things are done; and a presentation of real-world examples lets the reader see how to develop their own applets.

Customer Reviews

Really liked it (as a beginners book)

Out of all the documentation for beginners on Javascript this is the best book I've read. It had great usefull examples and explained stuff in a straightforward easy to understand manner.

Good for Beginners

This is a great book for beginners who want to learn enough to be comfortable with Javascript.

Very well-written and a great learning tool

This book was my first real "javascript learning experience" I had asked for assistance from other webmasters that had used it on their sites, so I could try some things on my homepage but until I read this book and used the hands on directions the concepts totally elluded me. I have learned far more now but this book gave me my first clear understanding of javascript.

Wow! What a book!!

I particularly liked the examples of scripts. The tip, note, and warning boxes were especially helpful. This book gave me a good start on utilizing the capacities of javascript. Well worth the price

Well written with good explanations

Excellent beginner book! Good mix of background explanations and examples with step by step information. Examples show good range to teach a wide variety of subjects on the topic.
