Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

JavaScript is the ultimate in web eye-candy. It is not a real programming language such as Java, and it isn't really essential for web site development, but it sure is a lot of fun for tinkerers. Pickering covers forms, frames, and objects in detail. Definitely not for beginners, this is a good addition to larger WWW computing collections already possessing Flanagan (reviewed above).

This is a thick book, not meant to be read, but to be used as a guide. You can cut and paste code snipits from the book to put together Javascript applications.

I find JavaScript How-To very well organized and easy to read. I find the information I'm looking for fast, which is what I need to complete my web projects. Very good examples on almost every topic make this book one of the best.

For people who need to get things done quickly using JavaScript, this book can be extremely helpful. It is best used as a reference text in conjunction with other lower-level handbooks. Unless you have some programming experience, I would not recommend this book as a tutorial or introduction to JavaScript, but it is a valuable source of many effective techniques that can shorten your development time.
