the idea of the book is great and it is very easy to read and understand.

But, it contains lots of errors and broken code. It can be very frustrating when the code you typed in exactly does not work and cant figure out why.

I feel the publisher should have invested in more proofreaders and code checkers. I switched to O'reilly's javascript the definitve guide and its cook book. Its was a lot tougher to get through but in the long run was a better choice.

Yes, there are errors in this book and I agree that there should have been much better editing but nonwithstanding, it's a good book. It fills the gap well between a tutorial and a reference manual. In fact, fixing the errors reinforces the learning, otherwise you are getting less benefit by simply typing in the example code. The text gives you enough knowledge to fix the code. The downloadable code on the associated site has been corrected (the site could be better publicised in the book). The book covers a lot of ground and the info is well presented. I certainly don't regret buying it, I've found it most useful.

Web designers, web developers and web masters, without this book, have something missing! All the scripts are there, ready to just refer to them, make a little change, if needed, then copy/past!That simple! As a web designer, this book worth me alot. Even though is not much useful for beginers to learn JavaScript, but a pill for web designers headache. Go for it if you're involve in any web improving job. Great at all...
