Product Description

Product Description

JavaScript is one of the easiest, most straightforward ways to enhance a Web site with interactivity. Yet most of the JavaScript books currently on the market are fairly large books that assume some familiarity with basic programming concepts. Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript 1.3 in 24 Hours, on the other hand, makes no such assumptions and serves as an easy-to-understand tutorial on both scripting basics and JavaScript itself. The book will be written in a clear and personable style with an extensive use of practical, complete examples. Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript 1.3 in 24 Hours will include material on the latest developments in JavaScript -- such as the use of JavaScript in Dynamic HTML. And it will clearly delineate the increasingly complex differences between the Netscape version of JavaScript, the Microsoft version, and the ECMAScript standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and clear examples for the complete beginner, 3 Sep 2000
I had very little knowledge of Javascript before buying this book. Now I have refined one of my forms to handle errors easier. As the title says I found the examples short and simple which is what we want (not complex programs because the author likes to show off). Some of the examples in the book did not work but were ok on the web site (was this some sort of initiation test?) I still can't get the Piano to play any notes!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book RULES!, 19 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This book is SO cool! I bought it the other day and already I've learned more about Javascript than I ever thought possible to learn from a book!

The chapter on writing a small card game using JS is a particular example of the sheer excellence of this book's teaching methods!

To put it simply, I just cannot praise this book enough! It is one of THE best computer related reference books I have EVER purchased!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE place to start for Javascript, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This is a lovely little book. If you want to learn javascript quickly and smartly then you could do worse than spend a couple of days with this brilliantly constructed book. By the end of it you should be able to write some pretty nice scripts - no problem.

The only thing missing is perhaps a chapter on the browser object model (esp if you're going into it for DHTML). But you can top that up with a more advanced book.
