5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, 5 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fun Web Pages with Javascript (BP) (Paperback)

I was starting to think Javascript was difficult. It isn't, I was just reading the wrong books! Forget the dummies and idiot guides, this is by far the easiest introductory book I have read and (ahem..) I've read a few ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic introduction to a very popular language, 4 Nov 2000

By	S. Squires "The Gatekeeper" (Devon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fun Web Pages with Javascript (BP) (Paperback)

Don't let the title of this book put you off. I can't praise this book highly enough. J. Shelley takes a very relaxed but professional approach in teaching a very useful programming language. I like the way he explains the object-oriented side of things, something which I had difficulty in understanding until I read this book. His whole approach makes you feel confident enough to start programming after the first two or three chapters. As other reviews mention he lacks understanding of the Netscape environment but he does repeatedly point out the differences which is the important thing to be aware of. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning Javascript. Very well written and presented. Thank you Mr. Shelley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great and cheap intro book to Javascript., 21 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fun Web Pages with Javascript (BP) (Paperback)

This book is a great and very cheap introduction to Javascript. If you are not up on HTML, I recommend getting a book for that first, then move onto this one (HTML in 24 hours is a good one). This book packs a lot in for it's size and the rather odd title. It doesn't cover everything, but it sparks the imagination and reads very well (due to the authors continual humour). Coupled with a heavy-weight reference (such as SAMS Pure Javascript Reference) book, you will soon be on your way to enjoying Javascript coding.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, so long as you don't want too much from JavaScript
This book assumes a decent knowledge of HTML, which is nice, since some other books feel they need to walk you through HTML as well as JavaScript. Read more
