Product Description
Product Description
For beginners, JavaScript (a programming language for use on web pages) is much easier and more rewarding to learn than Java. With JavaScript you can write code directly into a web page and do not have to buy or download special software. You can use single JavaScript commands to do animation effects, or little bits of code to handle calculations, feedback to visitors; and later you can use JavaScript to create quite complex structures. "Teach Yourself JavaScript" is a practical introduction to the language, which encourages even complete beginners to enhance their web pages and eventually to produce animated text and graphics, games and more complex facilities.

Whilst I'm sure that the bigger JavaScript books are more comprehensive, this one has the advantage that it covers all you need to know in a book small enough to actually read right through. Sure, the big books cover things in more depth but are you really going to read a thousand page book?
Very much the best bet if you want a practical guide to the language.
I just wish that the Teach Yourself people hadn't stopped producing these truly excellent guides.

quite different from doing HTML
26 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
In this short book, Bride conveys the essence of JavaScript. Teaching you enough to have you be able to usefully code. It assumes you have already laid out HTML pages. But not necessarily any programming. Some of you may consider doing HTML to be programming. Well, it's a declarative language. Most actual programming languages are procedural languages. This includes JavaScript. You'll see here quite a different style from coding HTML. The JavaScript code is more about how to do something, hence the term procedural. A different outlook.
Brief overview of Javascript
25 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
As an experienced programmer I found this slim volume to be useful as a brief intro to Javascript. It allowed me to quickly get an idea of the capabilities and the structure of the language before deciding to commit more effort to learning it.
The coding examples are very stripped down and do not reflect good practice for html. Readers should be aware of that.
