Product Description
Product Description
Mootools is a light, modular JavaScript framework that makes adding Ajax, animations, and interactive elements to your site a breeze. But it’s more than fancy effects and shortcuts; Mootools enhances the JavaScript language and makes writing clean, object–oriented code almost pleasant. Unlocking the power of Mootools, and therefore JavaScript, isn’t that hard, but knowing where to start can be. Mootools Essentials aims to help you accomplish that task with the following:
- Illustrations of nearly every class and function in the library
- Real–world examples of how to use them
- Written by Mootools user/contributor and Mootorial author, Aaron Newton.
See how Mootools makes JavaScript more powerful!

It's a reference book; that's what it says on the front. So it's not something you'd read from cover to cover to understand what MooTools can do for you. The ideal use of this book is to dip in and quickly refer to functions and parameters you need and there's the rub...
There is no index (ok, there is an extensive contents section); and the footer on every page tell you the title of the book (conventional but useless) the publisher (as if I care) and the page number. Where is the chapter number & title so I can quickly flick through and find the rough area for what I'm looking for? I found this a frustrating book to navigate.
I've awarded 3 stars but sadly for this book one of those was granted because of the subject matter. I love MooTools but I expect/hope there are better organised books about.

This was my first step in the Mootools world and it have helped me a lot to understand its nature.

Yes, so I'm sure it's a good book, but I've hardly read it as I'm a jQuery ninja and so is everyone around me where I work and blah, blah. Still might pick it up one day, thanks.
