Product Description JavaScript in Easy Steps instructs the reader how to add functionality (logic) and dynamic effects (DHTML) to web pages. It contains separate chapters on all major features of the JavaScript language. There are code examples and browser screenshots illustrating each aspect of JavaScript. This popular title is updated for the Document Object Model used by modern browsers and includes examples showing how to develop Rich Internet Applications(RIAs) using the latest techniques employing Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (AJAX). Customer Reviews & Comments I bought this book because of other books I have read in the series. In Easy Steps is quick and to the point and isnt a thousand pages. I recently took a JavaScript class and wanted to give this book as a desk reference for a classmate. All the examples are placed in message boxes which allows you to execute commands but doesnt show you how to really use JavaScript with a web page save making a pop up message box. Because Amazon didnt deliver the book in time for a gift I was able to send it back and dodge a bullet. I would recommend the JavaScript book from Visual, JavaScript: Visual Blueprint. It has a building on the fron and is around 300 pages. I would recommend other books from the In Easy Steps series but not this one. Cheers.
