Book Description

December 1996
JavaScript is an Internet publishing language which allows all levels of user to create and insert Java applets into their home pages. This book teaches JavaScript using an informal approach and a three-part discussion of the language: an overview shows the reader what can be done; a look at the language itself shows the reader how things are done; and a presentation of real-world examples lets the reader see how to develop their own applets. The accompanying CD contains a series of sample applets, including: animated logos; a moving 3D world; a form allowing performance of complex currency rate conversions while on site; a multimedia weather forecast that updates images in real time; and hyperlinks to sports providers allowing the display of live sports score updates.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does a good job for OO programmers.., February 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The ABCs of Javascript (Paperback)
I am 5+ years of c++ Exp. And i have'nt tried out their example scripts. So the star rating is based on that assumption. I think it would not be a good book for programmers without OO background. For those who have OO background, i find this is a quite nice book for step-by-step learning. Not all example scripts are included on disk. Overall this book is well organised and good start for C++ programmers, which many book fail to achieve.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is great about confusing beginners., May 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The ABCs of Javascript (Paperback)
This book is great about confusing beginners. I haven't read the whole book yet ,but so far it's been pretty confusing to understand the examples that they show because they don't explain the code clearly. If this book is pretty confusing to me even that i have basic programming knowledge, I can't imagine a total non-programmer learning javaScript from this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Javascript "Reference" book..., September 6, 1997
By 
normlund@ccpl.carr.lib.md.us (Manchester, Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ABCs of Javascript (Paperback)
If you are a programmer in Java or C/C++, this book is perfect. However, the content seemed to be rather vague in it's description of the classes and methods. On the upside, the back of the book contains information that can be used by any programmer to create Javascript with ease
