Customer Reviews Good book if you want quick info and know Java already, May 5, 2002 Reviewer: Bill Wagner from Reston, VA USA I needed to do some work in Javascript that required a moderate skill level. I already know "real" Java as well as HTML and didn't want to get a 500+ page manual detailing every single aspect of Javascript...I simply don't need that level of knowledge for what I'm doing. I've been working with Java for just over five years, and programming for just over twenty years. If you're like me and simply need to solutions quickly and you are an experienced programmer, this book is quite good. I was able to extract the information I needed in just a few hours. On the other hand, if you're a complete novice to programming or Java is foreign to you, you might want to look at books that are a little less aggressive in their approach. It would be nice if they added an appendix of the Javascript classes and methods used, but for as little as this book costs, I can't complain. Not Good, March 5, 2002 Reviewer: Frankie Kam from San Francisco, CA USA Complicated Explainations. If you are new to javascript , this book will give you a headache. If you have experience this books is ok This is a begining/intermidate level book, March 5, 2002 Reviewer: Frankie Kam from San Francisco, CA USA The problem with this book is that it is different from the regular series of the visual books. If you know javascipt like I do, this book makes sense. However, if you are new to javascript don't buy this. The explanations are terrible. There are woking examples. The example are the best features of the books because of the simple coding. |
