Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Aimed at the HTML designer with or without previous programming experience, the JavaScript Bible, 4th Edition brings a popular text up to date with a full tour of using JavaScript with all of today's Web browsers. Smart, very approachable and filled with many useful tips, this book can put JavaScript development into the reach of just about anyone.

After presenting a solid tour of basic programming in JavaScript, the book centres in on the real issues of developing JavaScript applications for real browsers. This means truly comprehensive coverage of the document object model (DOM), HTML, window and frame objects, forms and style sheets that are available today. In about 1,000 pages (and almost 30 chapters), you learn what's available in today's JavaScript standard with a reference listing every object, API and property, plus tips on how to use each feature. All this material makes this text an extremely worthwhile desktop reference for everyday JavaScript development. Particularly useful; support for every feature is clearly documented across the full range of today's browsers from Netscape Navigator 2,3,4 and 6 to Internet Explorer 3 through version 5.5.

Later chapters move toward the JavaScript language itself, with material on strings, maths functions and dates. The author discusses techniques for adapting JavaScript to particular browsers as well as providing cross-browser support where appropriate. Short exercises end each chapter and the book presents sample solutions in an appendix. Additional CD-ROM chapters move beyond the whopping 1,200 pages of printed material.

In all, the author's patient, clear writing style and real-world advice for creating great-looking Web pages with JavaScript make this title a winner. Readers of previous editions of the JavaScript Bible will appreciate the updated focus on current browsers. For anyone who wants to learn JavaScript for the first time, this edition is arguably an unbeatable choice. --Richard Dragan

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for reference or for learning, 18 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book leaves no stone unturned in it's disection of scripting for different platforms. Everything you need to know, about which browser supports what, is either in the book or on the CD. I wouldn't say it is a book for the absolute novice, but with a little bit of a grounding in the language, and providing you fully read and understand the tutorial chapters before you move on, you can get everything you need from it.

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a reference book, 14 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This book is good as a reference only. If you are beginning to learn JavaScript, you need a book with loads of exercises to reinforce what you are reading. This book lacks heavily in that area.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the beginner, 12 Dec 2002
By Alistair Duncan "AlistairD" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book quite frankly is a superb reference source but lousy as a learning guide. I bought this book in order to learn javascript and found it bordering on useless.

However once I had got a grasp of javascript (thanks to the sams Teach yourself..in 24 hours) I was able to utilise this book as a valuable reference.

In short, for reference - great, to learn javascript from - pick something else.
