Summary: Excellent How to Guide for Programmers
Review: I was sorry to see some of the reviews that gave only 2's and 3's. This book is much better than that. If you are tired of reading the books with all the theory and want one with just examples of how to do particular things then this is the book for you. The examples that I tried in this book worked and it covered issues that I need to know like "How do you trap the value and text out of a combo box?". I would not say this book is for the beginner but there are dozens of useless Javascript books for that (ie Learn Javascript in a Week). Overall thought I think that this book is solid and you cant beat the price

Summary: buy it
Review: Often you want a quick review of a concept that you want to utilize JavaScript for without having to wade through some lone tome on the subject. One such reference that offers JavaScript for every occasion is Ted Gesing and Jeremy Schneider's "JavaScript For the World Wide Web" It uses script examples employing red colored text within the script for highlighting the exact topic under discussion. We rate it high for a quick reference to JavaScript covering everything from the object model (in an easy to understand model) to frames and array handling. If you deal with JavaScript regularly you will certainly find this 175 page well indexed reference guide, a handy book you will use over and over again. We at Cut and Paste JavaScript give it a 9. Buy it. JJB

Summary: Buy a different book
Review: The Second Edition of "JavaScript for the World Wide Web, Visual QuickStart Guide" (ISBN: 0201696487) is now available from Amazon! Rewritten from page 1 by new authors (us), we wrote the new edition with web authors in mind--not programmers. You'll find step-by-step instructions on how to create rollovers, deal with forms and frames, and an introduction to Dynamic HTML. There's even a chapter on debugging your scripts. We invite you to check out the new edition. Tom Negrino & Dori Smith

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book is great for people with a background in other programming languages. It lets you dive right in with clear concise definitions and examples. It is not for people who want in depth explanations. The book cuts out most of this fluff. I wish he had an advanced book out. Some more in depth explanations would be nice on some coding techniques particular to JavaScript.

Summary: Jeremy Schneider went on to notoriety!
Review: This book is no indication of his future, but the contributor Jeremy Schneider apparently went on to get involved with some shady internet operations. See howtoburn.com

Summary: I agree with the reader from Japan
Review: Well, Peachtree press failed me for the first time. I tried hard with this book but finally it was time to put it where it belongs- under a stack of 2 week old newspapers. Maybe it's me, but there seemed to be some key info missing? If you are a programer it is probably helpful, If not ...
