Editorial Reviews

Beginner’s JavaScript Programming 2004 teaches the basics of programming using JavaScript. JavaScript, a modern programming language, can be written using any text editor and displayed in almost any web browser, regardless of the operating system. In the process, presenter Harold Davis discusses modern computer programming principles and explains concepts such as object oriented programming in an easy-to-understand manner.

The 24 lessons in this eight-hour DVD collection aim to make you productive with JavaScript even if you have no prior experience programming. DVDs may be played on any television or CPUs that have a DVD player.

1.0 out of 5 stars a guy trying to read his boring book, September 8, 2005

This review is from: Beginner's JavaScript 2004 on DVD (DVD)

If you can fight through the boredom of listening to someone read their own book for six hours , a small bit of useful information. the web site for dvpress is inactive and all attempts to reach them for the promised additional materials are in vain. Don't waste your time or money. Amazon should not carry these titles if the place is off-line or out of business.

This was very boring. The author delivered the lectures in a dead-pan tone and often seemed to not know what he was talking about. Another reviewer mentioned that DVPress is defunct. It is, and I agree that this product should not be sold. Buy a book instead.

This review is from: Beginner's JavaScript 2004 on DVD (DVD)

Before I bought and watched this DVD, I knew nothing about writing Javascript. Harold Davis is quite knowledgeable and brought a succinct and informative presentation forward. The information was concise and well-presented. For those of us whom had no prior knowledge of Java, it was a very good introduction into the world of Javascript. Production values were good and I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with Mr. Davis. Thank you Harold and DV Press for your good work.
