About the Author

has been writing about personal computers and consumer electronics since the late 1970s. In 2001, he celebrated 20 years as a free lance writer and programmer, having published hundreds of magazine articles, several commercial software products, and three dozen computer books. Through the years, his most popular book titles on HyperCard, AppleScript, JavaScript, and Dynamic HTML have covered programming environments that are both accessible to non-professionals yet powerful enough to engage experts. His JavaScript Bible book is now in its fourth edition. To keep up to date on the needs of web developers for his recent books, Danny is also a programming consultant to some of the industry's top intranet development groups and corporations. His expertise in implementing sensible cross-browser client-side scripting solutions is in high demand and allows him to, in his words, "get code under my fingernails while solving real-world problems." Danny was born in Chicago, Illinois during the Truman Administration. He earned a B.A. and M.A. in Classical Antiquity from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He moved to California in 1983 and lives in a small San Francisco area coastal community, where he alternates views between computer screens and the Pacific Ocean.

As the title says, this is a Cookbook of JavaScript recipes. While it does devote a few chapters at the beginning to the basics of JavaScript, do not expect a book to teach you the basics of JavaScript. However, you can expect the contents to cover a reasonable number of common situations and solutions for enhancing web pages.
The author covers topics including: navigation menus (mouseovers and expandable trees), graphic layering, frames, positioning and dynamic content. In addition, he offers a chapter on style sheets that provides a wonderful resource for this often neglected topic.
Throughout the book the author presents each topic with an overview, followed by selected problems, solutions, code samples and code walk throughs. The prose is concise and well written.
For additional reference on JavaScript, try JavaScript: The Definitive Guide.

This is a good book for general purposes

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2008

I wouldn't buy this book if you are going for aesthetics for you website. I wouldn't buy it if you are a heavy programmer either. Its a good "middle" book for just general roll overs, browser detections, and other javascript functions for form validation. Its a little small.

Get productive quickly

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2005

If you've got a decent amount of programming experience in C/C++/Java or something similar and need to be productive quickly in JavaScript, this is the book for you. That was my situation and within two or three days of getting this book I was producing some fairly respectable JavaScript.

The book covers a lot of ground from the most basic building blocks of funcionality (data types, field validations) to managing windows, frames, and dynamic forms to some nice dynamic effects. This book will save you hours of time and quickly get you up to speed on many useful JavaScript techniques and idioms.

NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR BEGINNERS

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2005

Verified Purchase

This book is vey difficult to understand and learn from. It's explanations are too abbreviated with not enough information on each code. Also, not all codes and conventions are included, and it reads like a novel, meaning not very descriptive or illustrative. Too many paragraphs and sentences.

More than recipes, a great learning experience

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2003

Verified Purchase

It's a sad reality, but the vast majority of the JavaScript and DHTML available is ugly, hard to, read, inflexible, poorly structured and full of kludges... This makes a cookbook written by such a talented technical writer as Goodman more welcomed than ever, his writing style is, as always, pleasant and engaging, and his attention to browser compatibility issues worth a special mention. Unlike many other cookbook I read in the past, I really enjoy all the discussions that goes along with the recipes, this isn't only a book you may want to open in search for a solution, read it, use it wisely and it may turn itself into a great learning experience

I've been doing web development almost 7 days a week for the last five years. This book is a delight and would have saved me countless hours if it had been available sooner.
Straightforward, clean, concise, thorough, basically what everone else is saying. The parts of the book with slightly deeper javascript programming will be best appreciated by those who have a background in at least one programming/scripting language; they are clearly explained and excellent but sometimes idiomatic in their brevity.

Emphasis on Cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2005

The book was good, but definitely a cookbook style approach. I found it incomplete as a learning tool. While it gave examples and explained how they worked, there were a lot of things left lacking. You will be able to use examples from the book, if what you want is in there, and even be able to modify them, but to really learn to program javascript, you will need more.

A good book to have on the shelf, but not a course textbook.

Pays for itself quickly

The minute I opened this book and began to browse the table of contents, I found at least two solutions immediately relevent to things I'm currently working on. I can't wait to see what else I get from this book.
