Customer Reviews & Comments
I picked this book up having no experience with programming or javascript. I would like to state that the 3 star rating is based on only going through about a third of the book at this point. For an absolute beginner, many of the concepts have been relatively easy to grasp up to this point and the book seems relatively straight forward and easy to read. All I seem to be making is pop up alert boxes, of course using different reasons to be making them. Being new to javascript...this could be the norm. My main complaint about this book is all of the errors I have found in it, which consequently all seem to be in the examples. For a person as new to this as I am, these types of screw ups that could have been caught with a decent proofer, cause a lot of confusion. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how the typeof value of x equaled what they showed, because it made absolutely no sense. Of course I finally reaslized that someone had inserted the wrong graphic and never noticed it. I also went in circles in another area about the ternary conditional operator (?:) until I gave up and moved ahead and then realized that they had printed the incorrect answer to the equation. Considering the number of proofing slips and I am only 1/3 through, I am going to be purchasing a different book.
