Rating:  Summary: Clarifying! Review: I've taken an online course in Javascript and already owned the O'Reilly Javascript book (good, but super dense). I could do a few scripts, but only by rote. I was not understanding exactly what was going on.For my skills and abilities Designing with Javascript was right on. Nick, the young author, uses superior examples and highly detailed descriptions on what's going on at each point in the script. Very useful. Within hours of receiving this book, I wrote my first moderately complex script and actually understood what I was doing!! Way to go Nick, keep up the good work. Definitely worth the price of admission.
Rating:  Summary: Good book, but before it's time. Review: This was a great book for an introduction to programming with javascript. The book presents everything in easy to understand methods, and examples that are practical, and real world. The only draw back is that this book came out as soon as the 4.0 browsers did, and JavaScript has undergone quite a change since then. Great book though, I look forward to the updated book coming out in December.
