This is a great book, HOWEVER... 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This was my classroom text book the semester I took HTML. It's great. HOWEVER: make sure you get the reference manual. And if you don't, don't settle for a $2 refund. The reference manual is worth $20 at least.

Editorial Review:

HTML texts from other academic publishers treat HTML in a step-by-step cookbook fashion, as though it were a simple software application, limiting the amount of material and concepts covered. Unique in the marketplace, Gottleber and Trainor�s Even More Excellent HTML combines the pedagogical support of academic texts with the comprehensive coverage found in trade books. No previous knowledge of HTML or Web design is assumed..

Darn Good Book 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This is simply the best learn JavaScript book I have seen. If you want to teach yourself, this book will do it. It starts with a chapter on basic HTML, for those readers who need it. Then each chapter describes a group of related techniques, such as image effects. COMPLETE code examples are given...I like that.

Simply the best! 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This JavaScript book is simply the best on the market. I found it amazingly easy to follow. I really appreciated the full length, complete working code samples. This book will give you the best parts of JavaScript in a very short time. I definately recommend it.

Definately recommended 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book was very easy to follow. In the first few chapters I was already writting JavaScript with no problem at all. The book has complete working examples, and is very easy to follow. I definately recommend this book.

Editorial Review:

This introductory title in JavaScript targets one of the most popular programming languages for Web development. The title has a unique approach, using building blocks so readers have developed a complete Web site by the end of the title.

Not the greatest 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book was used for a JavaScript course I took in college. It was easy to understand but introduces topics in a uncommon order. I know a few common programming languages and have read many books on multiple languages and this one is definitely unique. It expects you to do an exercise after every knew thing you learn which is a waste of time for the experienced programmer.

Could have used better planning.

Editorial Review:

AJAX is hot, hot, hot! Why? It's simple. With AJAX, internet developers and designers can create web-based applications that look and feel like desktop applications. These are responsive, highly-interactive applications that represent a new breed called "Rich Internet Applications" (RIA). This book is a guide to designing, implementing, and debugging AJAX applications. The book begins by comparing and contrasting the traditional web application lifecycle with that of an AJAX application. It then covers core AJAX technology, including the XMLHTTPRequest object, and describes various methods for "consuming" data returned by it. Because AJAX represents a fundamentally new way of creating web applications, the book is careful to explore usability guidelines for AJAX developers. This is followed by a series of use cases that show how specific problems are solved in both the pre-AJAX and post-AJAX worlds. The book ends with a chapter on debugging AJAX applications, along with appendices that cover toolkits that greatly simplify AJAX development. All of the server-side examples presented in the book will be written in PHP, the most popular langauage for server-side web programming.

A "Book" of Two Parts 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I've got mixed feelings about this book. I bought it as an update to the first edition, and the information between the covers is very useful in itself. However, the information I really need -- the DOM reference -- has been relegated to the CD-ROM. The reason that I buy reference books is so that I don't have to keep toggling between my code and an on-line reference. The DOM material runs to 400 pages - too much for me to print out. Perhaps Sams could have turned the book into a two-volume reference.

nice dead-tree compilation 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is a good reference for those with a decent know-how of Java, Cobol, C, or C++. The best thing about the tome is that it has a neat dictionary styled reference of methods, objects, properties, and not-real-world-enough example code bits. Those who want advanced stuff should refer the CookBook or the Visual QuickStart guides, and of couse beginners are better off with the Thau book or some such.

Editorial Review:

A code-intensive primary reference for JavaScript developers. Includes code samples, a reference section devoted to server-side JavaScript, full coverage of JavaScript on the Internet, and coverage of the newest Object Document Model found in new versions of JavaScript and JScript. Previous edition: c1999. Softcover.

This is THE book! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

There are a lot of java script books out there, and everyone shows you how to do an image roll over or how to to change items in the status bar. This is the only book I have seen that shows you in depth the true inner workings of java script. If you have a basic knowledge of java script and you want to go further, this is the book you should get.

Editorial Review:

JavaScript is a very powerful and easy to use scripting language that runs on both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, and can be incorporated into any standard HTML document that will then run in any web browser on any operating system. Because of this platform independence, JavaScript is one of the most widely used web development languages.

This revision of Learn Advanced JavaScript Programming focuses on professional-level JavaScript techniques, including the latest developments. The first few chapters review fundamental JavaScript concepts and techniques as well as basic HTML, while the rest of the book discusses advanced techniques including debugging, security, style sheets, and using JavaScript with layers. The appendixes include JavaScript object syntax, the ASCII character set, and a list of online resources.

The companion CD contains the HTML source code for all examples referred to throughout the book.
