4.0 out of 5 stars A good advance book for experienced programmer, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Advanced Javascript Programming (Paperback)

It's a bit heavy for beginner but would be a good book for those readers searching for a second book on javascript. Its in-depth approach is definitely a plus for those who intend to advance their skills in javascript. Recommended for those who have basic javasript experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Beginning, July 15, 1999

This review is from: Learn Advanced Javascript Programming (Paperback)

This was my first book on JavaScript and found it to be a major help. As other people noted, it was not referenced well. Also, too many examples contained incomplete information that "would be explained later." Chapter 7, Operators, was poorly done. Written primarily for Netscape browser preferences.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair Tutorial for beginners but lacks depth and a good ref., October 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Advanced Javascript Programming (Paperback)

This was my first book on JavaScript and learned much from it but quickly found that it lacked depth and a good language reference. It is strickly for Netscape and gives very little cross platform info on IE3 or 4. I effectively learned JavaScript but fell short when trying to do more advanced stuff. It is not and advanced book as it claims. More tutorial for beginners than anything else. Goodman's 3rd edition of the JavaScript Bible has turned out to be a much better book. It has a good quick tutorial and excellent reference and cross reference.
