1. Definately a good reference if you are a novice to experienced js programmer. This book does make some fatal attempts to instruct the reader on how to program with js but the content of the book is in large a programmers reference and muse. This would not be a wise purchase if you are looking to learn js from scratch, although if you have some other scripting language under your belt you may find it an invaluable companion.
   
   It covers just about everything that is important and unique to js in regards to what it can do on the web. There is some mention of debugging methods and some browser issues are covered but there are far too many to mention in one book. Unfortunaltely this may be js's eventual undoing but for now enjoy it while it's here.
   
   Worth a spot on your shelf.



2. The author's brief appears to have been "write down everything you know about JavaScript". Readability, use, organization - obviously these items were nowhere on the agenda. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! The author may well know what he's doing, but he has no ability whatsoever to explain it to anyone else.



3. Upon purchasing this book I scanned throug most alternatives. They were often too heavy too trivial and too narrow.

   This was the only book that offered a clear and consice guide of Javascript and how it interacts with HTML, DHTML, Document Object and running server based programs. This is cruicial as Javascript is a language run in conjunction with all of these.

   The writing style is easy to follow and the auther is very organized presenting the concepts in a through way. In contrast to the other books on the market it is a) to the point b) covers most the technologies used in conjuction with javascript c) great as reference.

   The drawbacks with the book are: - Shouldn't be used by NON PROGRAMMERS. Less emphasise is put on examples as on theory and understanding. - It is a bit old, should be updated - Would like more information on XML.




4. This book claims to be a tutorial on Javascript for people with knowledge of HTML, but its really more of a referance work. Nothing is explained in detail, the code examples consist of very small fragments that don't fully illustrate the ideas being explained, and basic concepts are overlooked. For instance, the book gives examples of a variety of functions, but never explains or gives an example of how you call them within your HTML code. This is one of the trickier aspects of javascript and its not addressed at all!

   Very disappointing. Only an experienced Javascript programmer will be able to get much out of it, and only then as a refresher.




5. Well, I'm not going to waste any more of my time. After error after error after error that occurs in the code sections _AND_ the reference section, I've finally thrown this book away. No, really! I threw it away; it causes me more pain than any other book I've got and I wouldn't wish this book on anybody. If you're really interested in a good javascript book, pick up O'Reilly's _Definitive Javascript Guide_ (the rhino book).

1. The book Javascript is by all means not a quick fix book if you are looking to learn Javascript in a short period of time. It leaves out a lot of vital details like parameters, objects and things of that nature which made my programs not run effectively when I finished them.
