Why the Web Guru series is a failure, March 6, 2008
This review is from: Web Guru Guide to JavaScript (Paperback)
I picked up this book at the library as an introduction to Javascript. I am not new to web design and programming, but I never bothered to use Javascript much before recently. The book is tailored to those who are completely new to Javascript and little to no knowledge of HTML. If you're expecting an in-depth guide to the subject, look elsewhere. I appreciate the easy-to-read nature of the writing and simplicity of the subject, however, I expected this book to be much cheaper than its list price. I was shocked to see that it is listed as $77. In no way is the book actually worth that. At that price, I would expect a 1200+ page, in-depth reference to Javascript. No wonder I had never heard of the Web Guru series before this. If they really wanted this book to sell (and this goes to all computer book publishers), they should have printed it on cheaper paper. There really is no need for glossy paper to be used all the time.
