I too, had this book assigned for a class, it was very disapointing considering javascript is a syntax specific language and there are spelling errors all over (especially in the code). I found that O'Reily's JavaScript book was more helpful with the assignments. Also, "Perl, CGI, and JavaScript Complete" from Sybex was an excelent book. It was a major downfall considering I had to go out and buy the other books and use the Internet to make it through the class. Don't BUY this book!

This book was assigned to us for our web scripting class. I found this book to be very confusing for a person who is just learning javascript & Vbscript. There are a lot of spelling errors and coding errors and a lot of the practice exercises do not work when you code them and since in most cases the author didn't place any pictures or examples in the book it is very hard to figure out how to fix the errors. Very Disappointing since I love most of the books released by Course Technology.

This book was a complete disaster in comparison to other books I've used from Thomsons Course Technology. The examples are extremely thin and you will have to use the internet as a resource because much of the tags and code the book leaves out and you have to fend for yourself. I had to buy this book for a class I am taking. Most of it is totally outdated and I can't believe my school is still using it for the Internet Programming class. What a waste of my money.

This is a terrible book to try to learn internet programming. It is loaded with typos and code errors.

Very bad examples in this book. Spelling errors, coding errors, you will need to buy other books to figure out what she is trying to teach. She should have read her book before printing it. This book should never have been printed in the first place. Not a good book at all. She provided only part of codes and you have to figure it out yourself. Why do we need her botch attempt at being an author or teacher. SAVE YOUR MONEY on this one.

In depth programming experience in Javascript, VBScript, ASP, and Access databases (and possibly SQL Server). I highly recommend this book. It is slightly out of date, but 99% of the newer adaptations of the software (i.e. ASP.NET) were found on Microsoft's web site. Many web sites are still using these versions of the software, which is why the book is so valuable. Thank you Kathleen Kalata.

Yes is true, I found some misspellings but overall this book is great for a starter. I had the honor to have her as my web teacher and she really opened my eyes!
