Customer Reviews Great for beginner to intermed. level JavaScript programmers, March 13, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from Auburn Hills, MI United States I started programming JavaScript using this book as a reference about a year ago and it's gotten me through a variety of coding situations. This book has a lot of applicable examples to explain the material. I'd highly recommend it as a "must-have" book for people who are just starting out with JavaScript and looking for a book that has working examples. Serves as an effective and reliable reference, February 14, 2001 Reviewer: Midwest Book Review from Oregon, WI USA Alan Wyke's revised, expanded and updated, JavaScript Unleashed, Third Edition continues to serve as an effective and reliable reference to the JavaScript language for the high-end programmer as well as a guide for developing JavaScript applications from the ground up. The topics most important to the intermediate to advanced Javascript programmer are informatively covered, including Web security, integrating JavaScript with Java, and forms and data validation. Intermediate - Advanced, 1100 pages. The best JavaScript book published!, January 7, 2001 Reviewer: tekk_monica from Westminster, CO USA I have purchased and read a lot of technical manuals, and more then a few of these have been JavaScript guides. This was my first JavaScript purchase and it is still the one I refer to every time. I like the way it is organized, with lessons mixed with examples and little-known facts. Ordinarily I prefer O'Reilly books, but the O'Reilly JavaScript book is inferior to this one. JavaScript Unleashed is a superior text, though the CD-ROM was not at all helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Best JavaScript Book Available!, December 2, 2000 Reviewer: born2bwild from Monroe Township, NJ USA For the life of me I don't understand why this book hasn't rated higher here? "JavaScript Unleased" is clearly written with to-the-point explanations. The examples are real world and fit in nicely with each chapter while the book covers the latest version of JavaScript (1.5) completely. The David Flanagan/O'Reilly and Danny Goodman/Bible books are ancient history from 1998 already! I also feel this book is more complete than the Flanagan book and Danny Goodman's explanations are too wordy. If your are an intermediate to experienced developer buy this book you won't regret it. |
