JavaScript: A Programmer's Companion from Basics through DHTML (Paperback)

~ Stefan Koch (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

JavaScript is one of the most popular scripting languages for producing dynamic web pages, and is popular not just because it is easy to learn, but also because it is platform-independent, meaning that most web browsers can handle it. It can be used to create sites which are vibrant, user-friendly and arresting. As a way of enhancing the contents of a website, JavaScript is enormously successful.

Whether you have web development experience or have never programmed before, Stefan Koch provides an excellent introduction to programming with JavaScript, using motivating examples and clear, concise language. Rather than simply providing ready-made scripts, the author encourages you to try modifying and enhancing the programs yourself so that you can harness the potential of JavaScript to give you exactly what you need.
