JavaScript Index - JavaScript Book :
JavaScript + CSS + DOM Magic
by Makiko Itoh Paperback: 320 pages Publisher: New Riders Publishing ISBN: 0735711321; 1st edition (May 16, 2002) Web designers: Learn how to code. Dynamic web development technologies are more than the hobby horses of programmers; your knowledge of DHTML and its components, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and the Document Object Model (DOM) can make the difference in getting your next job. Makiko Itoh has written an eminently easy-to-learn-from entry into this world: you follow the steps, you play wth the code, you learn it by doing it. Not through 600 pages of tiny-type, but in the popular New Riders Magic-series design: landscape-layout for easy access while you work; visually forgiving, without wasting space. It's what a designer's guide to web coding ought to be. Non-patronizing (the book assumes you know your way around basic HTML and such), and intelligently helpful. Each project explains why it's relevant to learn this stuff; then you dive in and do it. Fourteen lessons, each of which will make you a better web designer/developer for the learning. No one's asking you to give up being a designer... you'll be that much better of a designer/developer for mastering what's in this book. Let us know how it works for you. Thanks. Steve Weiss, executive editor, steve.weiss@newriders.com.
