4.0 out of 5 stars A Very strong title for Developers, December 9, 1999

By	William Rompala (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a web developer, I found this book invaluable. The author covers such topics as interbrowser compatibility, the document object model, LiveWire and more. It is divided into well defined chapters with clear and easy to follow examples. This is NOT a book for persons looking for "I don't care how it works, gimme code I can slap on my web site". It is geared towards developers entering into web based development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for heavy duty programmers!, October 15, 1999

By A Customer

Unlike the first 3 reviewers, I am a software engineer who LIKES TO PROGRAM. My complaint with other Javascript books is that they are too lightweight and there is not enough information besides how to make cute web pages. I consulted this book frequently during the development of a large project, and it never let me down. There was information on every topic I needed, and examples with enough substance that I could take it from there. This book spans the simple to the complicated, so you get a lot of value out of this book - this book will remain useful as your skills grow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good and informational., January 30, 1999

By A Customer

This book is the best book for starters and people who want to have a complete JavaScript reference book. I spent 5 hours in book store this summer in the States just looking for the best book for starters, and believe me this is it.
