Customer Reviews & Comments This book was used in my Computer Science class. I'm glad that I already knew HTML prior to this because it teaches you nothing. Online tutorials have way more information than this book. It's very short. Sure, it covers some topics... but it makes you believe that you cover a world's worth of JavaScript in 3 chapters. That barely scratches the surface. The HTML part isn't too bad, but could've been improved. By the way, one will not learn anything similar to the snippets of code on the cover. They're placed there to make you seem like you're learning a lot.
