DHTML Utopia is an excellent introduction to and exploration of responsible, modern JavaScript. It covers important concepts and best practices... -- Shaun Inman

About the Author

Stuart Langridge has been playing with the Web since 1994, and is quite possibly the only person in the world to have a BSc in Computer Science and Philosophy. He invented the term ‘unobtrusive DHTML,’ and has been a leader in the quest to popularize this new approach to scripting.
When not working on the Web, he’s a keen Linux user and part of the team at open-source radio show LUGRadio. He likes drinking decent beers, studying stone circles and other ancient phenomena, and trying to learn the piano.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to AJAX and other alternatives 3 Aug 2005
By R. Boyce
Format:Paperback
I'd recommend this book to anyone curious about how they can use Javascript and DHTML to improve their web development skills. It's easy to read, and thats comming from someone who rarely makes it through technical guides and gives you all you need to make a start putting the AJAX to use on your own websites.

Like many people online, I had a very low opinion of Javascript - I always held it as something to perform cheap tricks with and spawn pop-up windows all over the place. However, by working through this book, I've come to recognise how useful JavaScript is in providing users with an ever richer experience online by making webites more dynamic and interactive.

I picked up the book mostly because I was interested in AJAX, which the book covers very well. By working through the examples I've gone from knowing very little other than the hype behind this technology to being able to deploy it easily within websites. However the book also explains what an appropriate application for AJAX is and where it isn't appropriate because of usability issues, etc. Also covered are other remote scripting possibilities - with so much focus on AJAX right now its easy to forget these alternatives, which sometimes can provide useful alternative solutions.

Overall I'd have to say that this is a great introduction to using Javascript and DHTML to produce dynamic websites - invaluable to anyone looking to develop interactive sites of their own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to DHTML - BUT... 6 Oct 2005
By Papillon
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm just up to Chapter 4 of this book. Its a great introduction to modern, unobtrusive DHTML, probably the best at this moment in time - however...like so many technical books the editors need a kick up the soft bit as there are so many errors that could trip you up. See the ever expanding errata http://www.sitepoint.com/books/dhtml1/errata.php

5.0 out of 5 stars November 2005 Edition is great... 5 Jun 2006
By Chris Smith
Format:Paperback
When I ordered through Amazon I wound up getting the November 2005 edition of this book which had no typos or errata, unlike the report by a previous poster here.

Being already pretty familiar with JavaScript and its day to day usage, this book opened my eyes to many other possibile uses, as well as giving me a glimpse as to the power and usefulness of Ajax (which is covered in one chapter).

This book is great for updating your skills and learning modern JavaScript programming, without the old hacks that many of use learned and continued using over the years.

Bottom line: The book is practical, best-practice, and I found the examples easy to follow.
