As the title states, this is an annotated archive of JavaScript. The book covers everything from external windows to cookies to search engine interaction. If your users already know JavaScript, this book will be invaluable to them when they just want to look up a bit of code. The explanation is in the book, and the code is on the disk. Recommended for large collections.

Book Description
Available for the first time in a single volume, The Annotated Archives offers experienced programmers the ultimate collection of scripts, specialized controls, code snippets and embeddable programs. Why re-invent the wheel when you can easily customize code others have created-annotations explain how and when to use material, plus discusses programming options and alternatives-a brainstorm in a book! Companion CD's contain thousands of lines of documented code, controls and applications, plus web-links to latest versions and hot sites. Co-authored by Jeff Frentzen, PC Week's popular "Jeff's Internet Andventures" columnist-one of the foremost authorities on JavaScript programming; thoroughly covers the most recent JavaScript standard-now currently supported by both Netscape Navigator 4 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.
Customer Reviews & Comments
My initial thoughts on the book were: Wow, Cool, Professional Those three words sum the book up very nicely. The book is very professionally laid out, and has a nice quality tome feel to it rather than the sometimes brutal look of general programming guides. Once you get inside, the book is well presented, and well written. The most attractive aspect of the book is that it presents problems, or ideas, and then shows sample code to do it. I really like the structure of getting the full code so you can look through it, and then the nice summary of each section and the sequence flow through the program that you get afterwards. Another nicety is the addition of 'this is how you could expand on this idea' giving optional extras that could be built into your own versions of similar code. I've certainly learnt one or two tricks from the book that I wasn't aware of or hadn't thought of, and it's nuggets like those that make any book worth buying. By tackling the issues by example the authors have successfully written a book that should cater for all tastes. The professionals will use it for ideas, and the beginners will use it to help them learn the language. If you want a good, solid 'learn by example' JavaScript book you couldn't do better.
