Product Description
A quick, easy guide to building cutting–edge intelligence into your website
Without "smart," interactive content, your website just won′t cut it with today′s savvy Web surfers. Fortunately, with JavaScript, it′s now incredibly easy to build intelligent sites, and this book shows you how.
Featuring a rapid skill–building format, this book is organized around goals you want to accomplish with JavaScript rather than the language′s technical aspects. Even if you′ve never programmed a line of code in your life, you′ll quickly learn how to enliven your site with the smarts it needs to automatically tailor its content to an individual user′s needs, solve problems, make decisions, create new pages on the fly, and even close sales!
Nigel Ford eases you into the basics of JavaScript and then, with the help of dozens of vivid examples, teaches you:
∗ Basic and advanced techniques for adding intelligence to your Web pages
∗ How to store different types of knowledge in your Web pages
∗ Techniques for handling requests, accessing files, and using databases in server–side JavaScript
∗ Programming for language processing, searching, problem solving, and game playing
∗ How to program for both the client side and server side with JavaScript.

2.0 out of 5 stars
This teaches basic programming not javascript,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Developer.com Guide to Building Intelligent Websites with Javascript (Paperback)
I am very dissappointed I spent so much money on a book which does little more than introduce javascript and then teach the basics of using programming to link the basics together. It introduces things like fuzzy logic but fails to deal with pattern matching, regular expressions and any other programming construct necessary to actually fully utilize the concept. All in all the book is 80 pages of basic javascript and then 200 pages of frustration

Useful introduction to JavaScript and programming techniques,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Developer.com Guide to Building Intelligent Websites with Javascript (Paperback)
Ford begins with useful code samples to illustrate the basic grammar and syntax of JavaScript. In the second half of the book he provides an interesting introduction to programming techniques that could be adopted for use in any language. I teach a JavaScript course and this will be the text.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent into to JavaScript,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Developer.com Guide to Building Intelligent Websites with Javascript (Paperback)
Very good book as in introduction to JavaScript. Clear and concise descriptions and examples, that actually work! This isn't a good book for the experienced programmer looking for a desk reference (though it's not too bad in that regards), but is a great book for someone wanting to get started with JavaScript.
