Summary: Got me started but didn't take me where I wanted to go...
Review: Goodman's JavaScript Bible helped me get started with JavaScript but didn't put all the pieces together in a way that made sense. Don't get me wrong, the book was okay (it covers JavaScript 1.0 for Netscape 2 and JavaScript 1.1 for Netscape 3 beta). But in a lot of ways the book is more like a reference book that says here's what this is, here's what that is, here's what this is again, instead of explaining and teaching.

The book that helped me truly learn what I could do with JavaScript and what was beyond JavaScript is WILLIAM STANEK'S NETSCAPE ONE DEVELOPERS GUIDE. HIS book covers BOTH client-side and server-side JavaScript. HIS book also covers JavaScript 1.2 (new for Navigator 4.0) with excellent coverage of connecting applets and plug-ins using scripts with LIVECONNECT.

Summary: Good book with worst index I've seen
Review: I bought this book as my first JavaScript book and found many interesting examples. A lot of them can be easily added to your pages using the source code on the boundled CD-ROM. It describes JavaScript from the very inception till complicated scripts that probably aren't what everybody's looking for. I SUGGEST THIS BOOK to those like me that are familiar with programming but have no finacial founds to buy a server and experience with CGI. JavaScript doesn't require that much in terms of knowledge and this book it's also great in the way it presents the various functions of the language. In the end I just add this: there are tons of pages about JavaScript around as you can see in any bookstore that might confuse you when choosing....I suggest you this because I tried.

Summary: excellent learn for exp prog. subpar index, a couple errors
Review: This book is an excellent learning book for experienced programmers. However it's index is not as complete as needed for a reference volumne. The summary at the end is comprehensive, but not detailed enough to be really useful. The online reference is more useful. It contains a couple minor errors in advanced areas that won't become apparent until you've used javascript for some time
