If you want a book that awakes your worst instincts, just buy it. Hundreds of lines to explain how a while loop works and minimalist info on Javascript itself. Full of bad jokes about a bad taste "virtual boss" obsessed with adding stupid goodies to your pages.

Good for Housebreaking Beagles, Bad for Learning JavaScript! - 2000-10-31

The book begins by diving straight into the examples, without so much as a brief discussion of syntax. I found the example code was usually full of errors. It is not useful as a reference or a learning aid. I bought this book in London to read during the flight home. Next time I go back, I'm going to attempt to return it. Avoid the "Essential XYZ For Web Professionals" series like the plauge (or British Beef).

Well done book. - 2001-04-10

I see that there are readers of this book that are a little upset that they were unable to use this book as a learning tool, but as a reference, this book can't be beat.

As the title states, it is for Web Professionals. If you are just learning, I reccomend that you start small and work up to this book, you won't be sorry.

Good book for those familar with programming - 2001-10-03

I thought this book was great. It gives a quick enough overview to keep the attention of a student or professional. This book is not going to be a reference manual, but it is good enough to teach you the basics so you can get a feel for the language, what it does, and put it on your resume.

I picked up this book looking for a JavaScript book to use in the classroom. I'm still looking. The authors start with code without giving a good overview of the syntax. I found very little useful content in the 169 pages. Unless you are coding by hand, most of the routines are easily generated with a tool like ColdFusion.
