This review is from: Official Netscape Server-Side JavaScript for Database Applications (Paperback)
Don't purchase this book for the evaluation version of Netscape Visual JavaScripting, CD ROM. This version is buggy and the CD startup actually failed. When I called the distributor's tech support (as outlined in the book) I was told that group (Coriolis distributors) did not support Netscape products any longer and they did not have a forwarding number.

There is a fair introduction to JavaScripting with database connectivity however this is a relatively new technology, for Netscape and JavaScripting, and needs some enhancements. Even after stepping through the applications debugger, I was not able to find some of the application failures.

The most I go out of this book was a clear understanding that JavaScript is extremely powerful, dynamic, and other tools are needed for reference manuals and "bullet proof" application development.

I recommend waiting until either another publisher distributes a better reference guide and CD ROM or Netscape gets it right in a later version.
