3.0 out of 5 stars Book has potential but needs a better focus...
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2009

I have other programming books from these authors and that is why I bought this title. I have looked at other Javascript titles and was not impressed. The book is okay but needs to be reorganized. The following are the changes that it needs...

1) The book is short for tech books so it needs to focus on the important Javascript topics and not HTML format...

The book seems to spend a lot of time with XML and CSS, while important, there are other books that go into the detail and they do not spend enough time explaining and giving examples of the other topics critical to the subject.

2) In more detail they need to talk about code elements and the advanced features witch include built in, objects and DOM (there might be a few things that I may be missing...

I am disappointed since these authors have written very good books about the web, JAVA and PERL which are part of my book collection...

Deitel & Deitel have some excellent products and this is one of them. In this book, Paul gives a great review of HTML and CSS before he starts on JavaScript. The examples are well thought and his analysis of each program is excellent. Each program builds on the previous.
As an overall introduction to JavaScript... it's hard to go wrong with this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a joke!

This book is promoted as a book for programmers. It starts at a HS level introduction and takes several chapters to get to anything resembling programming. It passes history and justification of the language along the way. I skipped all of that but then the writing style is obviously for someone who has absolutely no clue about programming. I have been a software engineer for more than 20 years and have learned many different languages, but have not seen a book this poorly written for a long time. If you know any programming at all, look for another book.

If you know nothing about JavaScript, you will learn something. But, this is not the best text for beginners. It's not really a great book on the subject of JavaScript. However, I did enjoy reading it because I knew nothing about JavaScript at the time. Thus, you may enjoy this book and value it for what you learned after you read your second or third JavaScript book.

3.0 out of 5 stars An adequate introduction for absolute JavaScript beginners
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014
This was one of the first JavaScript books I was read a couple of years ago. I like that it begins with HTML and CSS, just to establish a base in which to understand how JavaScript is applied. It covers the basic syntax of JavaScript pretty well for assignments and control statements, as well as showing basic navigation of HTML pages and also event handling. If you've never touched JavaScript before, this book will be a helpful introduction.

The book does have a few specific weaknesses. The major one for me is that it doesn't really address objects or pseudo-objects in JavaScript. It shows how to use existing objects like Math, window, etc., but to be complete it really needs to go through the process of constructing comprehensive objects with static functions and members, as well as instance or prototype functions and members.

The last chapter addresses AJAX applications but it does so in a fairly superficial way. Its difficult to say how a book at this level might do better, but I think in order to understand AJAX a person really does have to write services and the client code to interact with them. This book doesn't attempt to do this, and this will leave the reader a bit weak on being able to apply JavaScript in a useful way.

Finally I would say that if the target audience of the book is programmers (as suggested by the book's title) then the authors should have made more of an effort to explain some important features of JavaScript. Object creation, event-handling, and XMLHttpRequest should have been explained in much greater detail.

For a beginner this book is a good start to learning JavaScript, but it is incomplete and the reader would have to continue learning with other JavaScript books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Annoyingly Repetitous, and Where's the Site?
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2009
Let me start by admitting I am only on page nine of this book, so I may have to change my rating later [EDIT: After having read all of the book, I have concluded it's not worth reading]. I am compelled to write this review because I am already heavily annoyed by amount of repetition in this book.

On page 3 I read

Errata and updates for this book are posted at [...]

and that is the sixth (!) time that URL is mentioned. The fifth time was exactly, to the line, one page earlier. Other URLs occur many times as well. Why not mention the above link just once, and let that be an index page that directs the reader to the other pages? Note also that the above link does not lead to an existing page AND the web site doesn't seem to offer errata to the book. I discovered this when I wanted to point out the mistakes -plural- in

"Common Programming Error 5.4: If the body of a while loop never causes the while statement's condition to become true, a logic error occurs."

I've read the phrase "send email to [...] and we'll respond promptly." a few times already as well. I find myself focusing more on the repetition than on the content. How can professional writers make such mistakes? Is this book templated and are all the paragraphs just gathered from previous books?

I suspect that the Deitels like to talk about themselves and/or like to see their names in print. Not just in the preface, but also on page 3: "In the late 1960s, one of the authors (HMD) was a graduate student at MIT..." and on page 7: "One of the authors, HMD, remembers the great frustration felt in the 1960s..." . Apparently, HMD has been in the business for a long time, and is proud of it. Unfortunately, this does not make for enjoyable reading.

It is one of the first rules you learn when (heaven forbid!) you go into marketing: Customers do not care about you as a sales person, nor do they care about the company you work for. What they are interested in, is how the product that you sell can make their life easier. I hope the Deitels will at some point take this lesson to heart and give us what we want and/or need, and paid for.

Self-glorification isn't it.
