Rating:  Summary: Good Question and Answer Book , Bad If your just starting Review: I got JavaScript for Dummies and I didn't learn a thing. If you need a ref. book for JavaScript it might be a good idea to get , but if your just starting to learn try something else.
Rating:  Summary: A most dissapointing book Review: I have read many Dummies books and this one is the worst one. It is confusing and lacks complete information. It only shows you how to do stuff that most people will never do. I am usually very good at figuring out stuff, but this book baffles me. I am very dissapointed that this is a "for Dummies" title. I expected much better.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent QuickReference .. a Must for JavaScript Programmer Review: This is a very good quick reference for readers who have just learned JavaScript and want a reference under their belts. The author does an excellent job in organizing the chapters. Finding subjects and information is easy. The book includes just the right amoutn fo information a quick reference should have.
Rating:  Summary: Dis Ain't de Book Review: This is not a book for beginners, or even experienced programmers. You'll hate it. I don't know why computer authors can't write a book for the real world and give real world examples.
Rating:  Summary: Felt like a dummie for buying it! Review: Man! Any of you JavaScript newbies out there beware! This book totally lacks cohesion, doesn't relate any of the so-called 'scripts' to the real world and is annoying in its 'humorous' approach. In a word, JavaScript For Dummies blows! Avoid this wasteland at all costs. Its tough enough learning JavaScript - this books only adds to the confusion.
Rating:  Summary: Not for the novice! Review: I bought this book thinking it was for newbies, not so. I was lost in the middle of chapter 5. I was wondering if anyone felt the same way and looked here. I was right, there are others here who don't think this is a book for beginners. If you have some programming experience, I think this book may be good for you. If not, I wouldn't recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: not a book for beginners Review: I agree with most of the other reviewers who found this book very frustrating. The only ones who found any value already know some Javascript. It was about as interesting as a dictionary. The information might all be there, but I certainly could mot make any sense out of it. This book really did make me feel like a dummy. I wish I had read these reviews before
Rating:  Summary: GREAT FOR BEGINNERS!!!! Review: I loved it!!! I have been programming with HTML,Perl,C, JAVA, JavaScript, ASP,VB Script and visual basic and I said " Hey, let me pick up one of these JavaScript books!" I already know JavaScript but, I teach it and wanted a simple outline for my course, its great for the one who just start but not for someone who already knows it.
Rating:  Summary: I wish I read this before I purchased the book Review: It is painful. I'm an X programmer and wanted to catch up on the newest programming craze, Java. After reading Javascript for dummies I felt like a dummy for buying this junk. No, I felt like a sucker.
Rating:  Summary: Don't try to learn from this book Review: While all of the information is in there somewhere, I found this book to be poorly organized and hard to follow. The author repeatedly introduces in-depth concepts without having yet explained the base concepts. Even though I have other programming language experience, I couldn't follow this book.
