HiI got this book since i have read by example books before and loved them.I really enjoyed this book too.This book is for beginners that know basically what programming is but don't actually know any language.The lessons are slow paced so you get it, with plenty of examples.The only complaint i might have is that the book has some typos in the code but i have figured them all out and corrected them, proving that i am learning(I am yet to see a programming book with no typos in the code examples.).I highly recommend this book to a newbie that has read something like "Programming for dummies" as a primer.
Best Book On JavaScript I've Ever Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is the best book on JavaScript I've ever read. Of course, it's the only book I've read, but that's not the point. Basically this book will help the beginner to grasp the fundamentals of the language. The wording is simple and there are (as the title suggests) plenty of examples to follow (you can download all source code from the Publisher's website).It is definitely not for the intermediate to the advance JavaScript writer. It is beautifully written to hold your hand through the very basics of the language. After completing each chapter, you should have a firm understanding of the concepts. Then, when you have completed this book, if you become a happy Java fan, I highly recommend buying an advanced JavaScript book to pick up where this one finished.
