Summary: Not Good
Review: Complicated Explainations. If you are new to javascript , this book
will give you a headache.
If you have experience this books is ok

Summary: From a Teacher
Review: Covering the application of JavaScript, it is probably the most concise and reasonable representation I have used for instruction!

Summary: Good book if you want quick info and know Java already
Review: I needed to do some work in Javascript that required a moderate skill level. I already know "real" Java as well as HTML and didn't want to get a 500+ page manual detailing every single aspect of Javascript...I simply don't need that level of knowledge for what I'm doing. I've been working with Java for just over five years, and programming for just over twenty years. If you're like me and simply need to solutions quickly and you are an experienced programmer, this book is quite good. I was able to extract the information I needed in just a few hours. On the other hand, if you're a complete novice to programming or Java is foreign to you, you might want to look at books that are a little less aggressive in their approach. It would be nice if they added an appendix of the Javascript classes and methods used, but for as little as this book costs, I can't complain.

Summary: good book
Review: The book lives up its name. The book is not for beginners, it does not explain javascript syntax. The book shows, however, practical jscript implementation. I am a vbscript programmer and I needed an ultra quick tutorial in Javascript (something like jscript in 20 minutes). The JScript5.5 documentation from Microsoft is only good for syntax reference. This book showed me exactly how to take the syntax into my html pages in a short, efficient way.
An affordable desktop reference.

Summary: This is a begining/intermidate level book
Review: The problem with this book is that it is different from the regular series of the visual books.If you know javascipt like I do, this book makes sense. However, if you are new to javascript don't buy this. The explanations are terrible. There are woking examples. The example are the best features of the books because of the simple coding.

Summary: Learn QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY
Review: this is a very practical book for those who learn best from examples. i'm a certified internet professional and I favor these visual books a great deal cause they just cut to the chase. It's a no-nonsense approach that teaches you all the fundamentals of javascript without boring you with excessive details. for those who need details or more explainations on javascript, get a companion book with this one and you should be all set. overall, a book that you can learn javascript from scratch, very easily, and a reference for the more advanced programmer. highly recommended.
