Summary: JavaScript Source(of Madness)book
Review: This book would have been nice to keep on my bookshelf. But, at the very beginning I could see the inconsistencies of the programming examples. It drove me mad. So, I had to return it.

Summary: Good in many ways but confusing in others
Review: This is the first and only book I've read on JavaScript. Though I have some programming experience I knew little about object oriented programming. I thought the explaination was good and the book in well organized - chapters on objects, properties, methods and functions, etc. My complaint is this: there is some confusing stuff here. Programming elements are used in examples before they are explained. Though some of this is necessary, he could have used simpler examples in many places. Also, he used different ways to call functions in the examples. For example, to call a function from a mouse event, he used no arguments one time and used arguments in another example. Both ways work, but it confused me. It is a pretty good reference book. Following the table of contents most instructions are listed alphabetically with page numbers. The explainations are in sections with the program elements in easy to spot bold type.
