This JavaScript reference focuses heavily on
an instructional method that is highly effective
in teaching programming -- providing lots of examples
and sample code. Each new JavaScript concept and technique
is illustrated through the use of screen shots;
plenty of sample code with instructional
text is also provided.
The book does not cover many advanced topics.
However, unlike some more complicated references,
it
does provide a very simple introduction
to JavaScript for beginners that will give programmers
a solid foundation
for more advanced topics. Also, the authors do
a good job of providing information about
how the different browser versions read and
display JavaScript and HTML. A section on debugging -- finding
and removing errors -- is especially helpful.
JavaScript 1.5 by Example provides a great introduction to
JavaScript programming for web developers and website owners.
JavaScript 1.5 by Example is available for purchase on
