4.0 out of 5 stars A good introductory book on Web programming by the Deitels, October 18, 2007
By calvinnme "Texan refugee" (Fredericksburg, Va) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This book is much better with more detail and in a more interesting format than the Deitels' other books on computer technology. It has been so in the previous three editions, and this edition continues the tradition while updating the contents to reflect the new technologies on both the client and the server that are available for rich Internet applications. It has a very good introduction to Javascript for the novice programmer as well as a good explanation of Ajax. In fact, it's one of the clearer explanations of that technology that I've seen. I really liked the section on Adobe Flash CS3 and how the authors illustrated the usage of the application by building a simple interactive game. The appendix is very useful with information on XHTML tags,
Javascript, and various coding systems. Very much recommended for someone starting out programming who wants to know what programming on the Internet is like in the year 2007 without already being an expert desktop programmer in C++ or Java. If you're not familiar with the Deitels' approach to technical books, they favor an example-based approach with lots of recipes in numbered steps and "live-code" examples that are usually color-coded so that certain portions of the code are highlighted as the text discusses each portion. For this subject the approach works well and keeps things moving. The product description does not show a table of contents, so I do that next:

1 Introduction to Computers and the Internet 2
2 Web Browser Basics: Internet Explorer and Firefox 28
3 Dive Into Web 2.0 50

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, thorough, everything in one place, October 5, 2007
By Devon Cayer (Los Alamitos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book goes indepth into every possible web development code/means/software it's simply amazing. I have good experience in C++ but none in web development, this book is akin to savitch's book on C++, it's very well done and very in depth I would highly recommend it to anyone who is eager to learn to do web design.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth every penny, recommend, March 9, 2008
By Kay Dahlflower (New England, USA) - See all my reviews
I didn't realize what a great book I was getting. It is a huge textbook that is well written and includes online resources. Overall, it is the best computer book I have ever seen, read, used, or owned. I recommend it to others.
Oh...and...Javascript and Java programming language are two different things (this book covers Javascript). I will look for more Deitel books in the future...and not just because I need a good book on Java programming.
