Review: Simple to read, beautiful design, and great for new developers. - A book like this is very unique, it has a beautiful design, a very simple explanation of the lines of code,. This book would be recommended to whom are new to web development, someone who did not get the point of a few of the topics, or a collector of programming-related books. Review: Summary first: This book presumes some knowledge of HTML & CSS (look up Duckett' preceding book if necessary), and introduces main elements of Javascript adequate for basic web-design projects, with no claims to comprehensiveness, and it's certainly a success in that respect. PRESENTATION: Impressive. Looks more like a Wired issue than your typical introductory programming/scripting book, as the latter usually try to fit as much information as possible into limited space, which makes pragmatic sense, but makes you not want to pick up the book and proceed. This book uses space liberally, sacrificing limited space (~600 pages + index) for readability ( devoting an entire page to the diagram of a for loop for instance), using very large fonts for summaries, etc. The design is elegant, and also well-thought: Different text colors, italics etc, are fully employed to make newly introduced syntax easier to comprehend. All code sinppets are included in blue boxes clearly separated from the text, where necessary, javascript and html codes are presented side-by-side. For every method / syntax introduced, browser compatibility is given in a table, and more compatible alternatives offered when necessry. SCOPE: As a corollary of the presentation approach, the scope is limited, albeit sensibly. The book aims to present JavaScript to the extent that it can be employed in basic web design, without trying to present the language in its entire functionality, as such important concepts/aspects are left out (Regular expressions, for instance). Also, HTML and CSS are NOT covered in the book(they're covered in Duckett's preceding book "HTML and CSS", prequel to this one), JQuery, Ajax & JSON are covered in a total of 150 pages, providing a decent, sensible introduction only. COMPARISON/SUGGESTIONS: If you want a more comprehensive guide at hand, consider getting Flanagan's "Javascript: The Definitive Guide", or an equivalent. If you want a more compelling and detailed approach to the language, supplement this book with "Eloquent Javascript", a book available, free of charge, online. ONLINE SUPPLEMENTATION: True to its claim, all code presented in the book are available online for bulk-download. Table of Content (CHAPTERS): 1 The ABC of Programming / 2 Basic JS Instructions / 3 Functions, Methods, Objects / 4 Decisions & Loops / 5 DOM / 6 Events / 7 JQuery / 8 Ajax & JSON / 9 APIs / 10 Error Handling & Debugging / 11 Content Panels / 12 Filtering, Searching & Sorting / 13 Form Enhancement & Validation / Index DURABILITY (WHENCE THE MISSING STAR DERIVES): I've read the entire book on the same bookholder & desk very gently, and still ended up with every page detached from the spine. (For comparison, other books I've read with the same method look almost unused). It's sad to see such a horrible spine/binding chosen for a book when so much care has obviously gone into its composition and design. Hope they revise the spine in future editions.

A great and convenient source to understand the scripting language of web. Readily understandable analogies, visualizations and examples. Accessing information happens in miliseconds in todays world but having a phsycial copy and being able to cross-read it feels both nostalgical and nice.

The product itself is amazing. Well written, gorgeous design. It deserves a 5 star. HOWEVER, I'm quite disappointed that I received a paperback, despite paying for a Hardcover. Upon checking the posting, it says Hardcover is currently out of stock. So I am at a dilemma right now... I don't want to return this book because I need it now, but I wish I could get a refund for the extra cost I paid for the Hard Cover. I've been going around the links in Amazon, but couldn't find a way on how to get a refund for the extra cost I paid for the hard cover. Again, its not the author's fault, so I am keeping a 5-star rating for the product itself. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn JavaScript, just be careful not to buy an out-of-stock product, else you might get charged for a higher price. I hope Amazon or the seller would contact me about this.

Etant développeur et designer front-end , je désirais mettre des mots sur des techniques que j'utilisais déjà, structurer ma façon de programmer javascript et en bonus parfaire mes connaissances. J'ai trouvé ce dont j'avais besoin dans cet ouvrage, des explications claires, concises, pas après pas avec une première partie uniquement dédiée aux bases du langage Javascript natif et une seconde reprenant les techniques apprises en se facilitant la tâche avec jQuery pour la manipulation de la DOM . Chaque étape propose une partie théorique et en regard une mise en pratique par le code. La fin de chaque chapitre offrant un exemple complet. La cerise sur le gâteau est la formidable mise en page ainsi que les très riches illustrations qui procurent vraiment beaucoup de plaisir au lecteur. Je le conseille à tout qui a déjà des bases en programmation ou est au moins intermédiaire dans un autre langage et qui veut dès le départ avoir les outils nécessaires, ainsi que de bonnes pratiques pour envisager l'utilisation de Javascript et jQuery dans ses projets. Une base donc qui devra être complémentée par d'autres ouvrages plus poussés traitants d'aspects plus précis du langage ou rentrant plus en profondeur dans le code.
