This is useful as a reference book or to learn JavaScript. I do not use it often, but when I need it I am very glad to have it on my shelf. Good examples.

Uses examples to explain how JavaScript works - 2009-06-09
Reviewer Rating:
Has examples with side bar notes on what each line does. Typical of this publishers other guides, but works really easy with JavaScript samples. Good and informative introduction of JavaScript and its applications in the real world. Reviewed 5th edition and 5th ed. Student Edition, student edition was nice because of the review sections, but basically the same book.

Good Quick Start - 2008-11-10
Reviewer Rating:
This book is as the cover states; "Visual QuickStart Guide....pictures rather than lengthy explanations." It was a great help in getting started with JavaScript. It is not an in-depth tutorial, but then, it doesn't claim to be.

I liked it.

It's downloads don't work, and the book requires that they be used.
the examples will not run as written in the book.
They do not conform to the w3schools standards.
it cannot be used outside Microsoft products.
Like Firefox.

This book was well packaged for delivery. I like it for the clarity with which the authors present the various lessons.

I hope to derive a lot from it and to add to my skills.

I am still going through it and so far it has been very exciting. Thank you for the good business. A value for the money.
