5.0 out of 5 stars The Best JS book I've seen!! And I've seen a few., July 18, 1998

This review is from: Teach Yourself Javascript 1.1 in a Week (Sams Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

This book teaches the way it supposed to be done. First it gives you information explaining the element(s) you will be learning. Second it gives you examples of what was just explained. Third it has you do some practice exercises of your own. Fourth it uses a building block style of learning so that the new things you learn are added to the old for reinforcement. The book says you can learn it in a week which for most is probably not true but you will learn it and no language I have ever learned (became proficient at) was learned in a week anyway. Not even HTML. It may move a bit fast for a beginner but it is very thorough and you will learn. Also it is still very relative today even though JS 1.2 is the latest standard. This book will give you the basics and get you to the point where you can teach yourself without a book. Very well done Arman!
