Mastering JavaScript and JScript

Rating:
Summary: No effort went into making this book
Review: 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.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: When I purchase the book, I thought it would help me to understand Javascript as the word "mastering" implied. Nonetheless, it cannot explain clearly the interaction with form submission beside asking the reader to point to a CGI script in the author's website. It lacks the depth of pointing out the usefulness and how to use email to substitute for GGI file. The cookies explanation was over simplified and did not teaches the reader how to write a good cookie using good technique. It's a disappointment for me overall. I giving a two stars because the author allows the reader to download the codes from the web as it did helps me to get along with some of the codes in the book.
