Customer Reviews & Comments
Danny Goodman is my favorite writer of JavaScript books. However, I would think that over 90 percent of the people who might consider buying this book should instead buy another edition. The problem with this one is that the JavaScript tutorial, which provides the most accessible introduction to JavaScript, is NOT included in book form. It is only on the CD-ROM. Therefore, for beginning and even intermediate JavaScripters, this book is more difficult to use than the other editions. I have the original "JavaScript Handbook," which was the forerunner of this book. The Gold edition naturally is much more up to date and complete. However, unless you already own one of the earlier editions, I would stay away from this one and get an earlier edition of The JavaScript Bible instead. Those I can recommend without qualification.
