Product Description

JavaScript is one of the most important technologies on the web. It provides the means to add dynamic functionality to your web pages and serves as the backbone of Ajax-style web development. Beginning JavaScript with DOM Scripting and Ajax is an essential guide for modern JavaScript programming; it's practical but comprehensive. It covers everything you need to know to get up to speed with JavaScript development to add dynamic enhancements to web pages and program Ajax-style applications. Experienced web developer Christian Heilmann begins gently by giving you an overview of JavaScript--its syntax, good coding practices, and the principles of DOM scripting. Then he builds up your JavaScript toolkit, covering dynamically manipulating markup, changing page styling on the fly using the CSS DOM, validating forms, dealing with images, and much more. Then he takes you to advanced territory, with a complete case study illustrating how many new JavaScript techniques can work together, plus a great introduction to Ajax development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to cross browser DOM Scripting, 13 Feb 2007

By	Mr. R. A. Bradwell "richard" (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first started off with this book I thought I was going to be dissapointed because it was slow for the first few chapters. Having said that it's not for the novice. As I got further into the book it got better and better. The author takes a sensible approach to the use of javascript, maintaining accessability and degrading gracefully. Some of the code later on in the book is top notch. I haven't had to contact the author yet so I can't comment on the lack of support mentioned by another reviewer. The books pretty well written and I haven't had enough problems with it to warrent going to the site. As a professional java developer who has just over the past year took an interest in ajax rich client technologies I found it a thoroughly good read. The first 4/5 chapters covered knowledge it had taken me many months to amass by myself. Buy it now!

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously underwhelmed, 31 Jan 2008

By	Barry Normal "_bukko_" (Scotland) - See all my reviews

Having got to the point where I was working on a site and needed some quick and easy insight into possible javascript solutions to common problems I ended up throwing this book across the room in frustration.

Some people are good at explaining and good at teaching. Even just good at writing. You cannot say that about this book. The most annoying thing was the 'we're not going to do that, we're going to do something a bit different' concept.

No, just do the simple thing, then I'll work out how to add the frills myself.

If you're looking for a handy introduction that will later serve as a basic reference. Keep looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for novice and pro, 8 Sep 2006

By	M. Jones (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book with some cutting edge techniques but applied in a manner that focuses on not making your site inaccessible to those on older browsers. Written by someone with plenty of real-world experience and it shows.

Chris Heilman is clearly a man who knows Javascript inside out, however this book is let down by unclear examples and limited exposition of important features. Read more
