A Learner's Companion to JavaScript
Product Description
So you're ready to make the leap from writing HTML and CSS web pages to creating dynamic web applications. You want to take your web skills to the next level. And you're finally ready to add "programmer" to the resume. It sounds like you're ready to learn the Web's hottest programming language: JavaScript. Head First JavaScript is your ticket to going beyond copying and pasting the code from someone else's web site, and writing your own interactive web pages.
With Head First JavaScript, you learn:
- The basics of programming, from variables to types to looping
- How the web browser runs your code, and how you can talk to the browser with your code
- Why you'll never have to worry about casting, overloading, or polymorphism when you're writing JavaScript code
- How to use the Document Object Model to change your web pages without making your users click buttons
Don't be intimidated if you've never written a line of code before! In typical Head First style, Head First JavaScript doesn't skip steps, and we're not interested in having you cut and paste code. You'll learn JavaScript, understand it, and have a blast along the way. So get ready... dynamic and exciting web pages are just pages away.

I already use javascript when building websites, but felt that I didn't really understand how to get the most out of it. Like many designers/developers, I only really use a standard set of codes to add a basic level of functionality to a site. I wanted to go beyond the basics and to develop some decent applications.
Well this book sure helped me to achieve that. I thought that I had a good grasp of the concepts involved but gained a much more thorough understanding of scripting by the time that I finished this book. It really is an excellent beginners' book that takes you up to intermediate standard. I have already begun work on a couple of javascript projects and am making excellent progress thanks to the solid foundations laid by working through this book.
If you want a good grasp of the concepts involved in using javascript then buy this book and do all of the exercises in it and you will be well on your way.

I've had this book for ages and its been my life line when I've forgotten tags and such. I had a little bit of JS knowledge before I picked this book up but I could never get my head around the for and while loops, this book explained the concept excellently!
The way its laid out is great for beginners as it takes you by the hand and leads you through different parts of the JS world. The CASE section with the story is pretty amusing and gets the point across well. Oh yeah, if you pick up this book, be prepared to laugh and come with a sense of humor, this isn't a dry old tome of a book, its a great laugh while you learn!

A good book for someone just starting out with Javascript. A bit 'comicy' but it does take you step by step through the principal features of Javascript. A good book for anyone totally new to the subject.

Book is in black and white
The only downside to this, is that the book is in black and white, not coloured. But otherwise, brilliant book for beginners.
