JavaScript - Introductory [Paperback]

Gosselin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 16, 1999 | Series: Web Warrior Series

This text is designed for the novice and assumes no knowledge of programming, JavaScript, or HTML. JavaScript offers an introduction to the fundamental concepts of programming in a straightforward manner. In addition, since JavaScript is object-based (but not object-oriented), it again provides an excellent introduction to the more complex concepts inherent in a true object-oriented language.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is terrible, November 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: JavaScript - Introductory (Paperback)

The author is incapable of using examples. The writing is done in self referential statements that assume that you already know how to write in JavaScript. It is impossible to learn Java with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Javascript : Introductory, October 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: JavaScript - Introductory (Paperback)

This text is designed for the novice programmer, thus reinforcing the student's fundamental concepts of programming. Using JavaScript® as the scripting language for Web page interactivity provides the student with an easy transition from their introductory programming language, Java™, this would be a recommended text.

Feeling Drowsy "Arrrrrrg!" (Fullerton, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JavaScript - Introductory (Paperback)

This is the MOST boring book I have ever tried to learn from! Every time I pick it up I start falling asleep. If anyone really wants to learn I would recomend the "Sam's 21 days" series. I have bought books on Perl and C++ from Sam's and have enjoyed both.
