Customer Reviews

With a little help this book isn't so bad.

I admit, when first attempting to use this book, I thought it could be a lost cause. I actually fired off a fuming e-mail to the publisher. Surprisingly they were very helpful and pointed me to the Web site that the book refers to. The Web site has a list of corrections to the errors in the book as well as a lot of resources outside of the book that have helped me learn JavaScript. Apparently there is a 2nd edition...
