Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A programming cookbook is usually a collection of small (but perfectly formed and debugged) components you can mix and match to create your own applications. By this definition, Javascript Application Cookbook is a misnomer. This is actually a collection of 11 completely worked-out client-side Javascript applications including a search engine, Web based tests, slideshow, simple ciphers, shopping cart and so on--all useful stuff.

It assumes the reader has a good grounding in Javascript--certainly enough to follow the code. The explanations that follow each application are mainly high-level overviews of the operation of the component parts of each application.

If you want to learn Javascript, you might be better off with a book on the Javascript language and a standard reference on programming algorithms. Jerry Bradenhaugh clearly knows his stuff, however, and if you need a lot of examples showing effective ways to construct large client-side Javascript applications then the Javascript Application Cookbook will be useful. --Steve Patient

Robert Judd, Front Range Unix Users Group, 11 March 2002
This book attains the usual high standards of O'Reilly books with clear,entertaining writing and a good presentation.

3.0 out of 5 stars good - if you know JS already, 5 Oct 2004
By madra (manchester) - See all my reviews
this book [like all o'reilly books] is as comprehensive as you can get. but like a lot of o'reilly books, it pretty much plunges you in at the deep-end. i dunno whether it's just because JS is intrinsically less forgiving than other languages, but i found that i spent an inordinate amount of time trying to adapt the scripts in this book to my needs [and squish bugs], compared to other similar books for languages such as PHP and actionscript. have o'reilly 'lost their touch' on this one, or is JS just an unforgiving language? - i'm still not really sure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mildly interesting, but not worth the cover price, 1 Feb 2000
Some interesting bits, but the author appears to have no understanding of good coding practice. Elementary ideas like data name integrity are alien to him, and as for object-orientated techniques... The code is unstructured and inconsistent - which might explain his unfortunate bias in favour of Internet Explorer's DOM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, thank you, thank you...., 16 May 2000
By ian@walkerzone.co.uk (Cheltenham, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this book because I wanted to get into the development of websites. We all hear the jargon being batted around.....and high in that list comes "javascript"...I bought a reference which is great, "javascript - the definative guide", also from O'reilly..but this shows how to do REAL things on your site. It is hard going at first, but very quickly helps you pick up speed...another excellent piece of work from O'reilly....BUY THE BOOK, you will not regret it!
