JavaScript Index - JavaScript Book :
Mastering JavaScript and JScript
by James Jaworski, Jamie Jaworski Mass Market Paperback: 895 pages Dimensions (in inches): 2.37 x 9.02 x 7.53 Publisher: Sybex ISBN: 0782124925; 1st edition (March 1999) JavaScript is the most widely used scripting language for the Web and continues to grow in popularity. Mastering JavaScript and JScript is aimed at savvy HTML users who want to take the next step and learn to write JavaScript programs that will make their Web sites come alive! This is the most comprehensive tutorial and reference available, with information on both Netscape and Microsoft's enhancements of JavaScript. The book starts with everything beginners need to know and then moves on to more advanced topics, such as scripting ActiveX components, working with plug-ins, building multimedia applications, and interfacing with CGI programs. The companion Web site offers all the sample code from the book, which readers can drop into their own programs, and a complete JavaScript command reference. The author is a well-known Internet programming expert and has led the development of secure networks for the Department of Defense. Customer Reviews A crapper, May 22, 2001 Reviewer: SV from Cincy, OH Some of the scripts are useful i na canned way and if you know programming you can perhaps tweak them to your use. But the book does little to help you learn javascript... just example programs and screens.. no teaching of the why's & how's. There are better references on the web for free. A handy day-to-day reference document, December 24, 1999 Reviewer: Joel Howe from Massachusetts I found this book to be very useful. There are many examples that are helpful in developing your JavaScript skills, and there are several more advanced sections that include explaining how JavaScript can be used to link with Java and ActiveX. This book truly helped me develop from a beginner at JavaScript to an expert. My experience before this book was that I was an HTML expert, but didn't have a clue about JavaScript. I am currently doing some web page development work and I routinely reference this book to refresh my memory. I highly recommend this book, though it may be getting out of date a bit, but since there are still many people using Version 4 browsers, this book will ensure you are writing JavaScript code that can be used by most anyone, not just IE5.0 users. No effort went into making this book, August 1, 2001 Reviewer: Derek Owens from Atlanta, GA United States This is a truly awful book. It is a classic example of some joker throwing some stuff down on paper and trying to sell it. Despite its large size, it contains very little information. The book mostly consists of lengthy, unhelpful examples printed in a large font to take up space. I ended up returning it and getting the Beginning Javascript book from the Programmer to Programmer series, and it's great. Don't waste your money on this one, though. JavaScript & JScript, April 9, 2001 Reviewer: Dave from San Francisco, CA USA Too much JavaScript, not enough JScript. I was hoping that this book would serve as a JScript reference based on the title but there was only one chapter on serverside JScripting. If I had actually paid for it, I would be ... |
