Teach Yourself Javascript in a Week Review by anonymous
The Best JavaScript Guide Ever Written For Beginners.
The title of the book states that the reader can learn JavaScript in a week. Although this may be true, two weeks is better suited for the amount of reading required to learn the contents of the book. Nonetheless, the book is extremely well written and easy to understand. The author's directions are concise, complete, and directed toward the reader of non-technical manuals. This particular edition was the first JavaScript book I read in the compilation of eight books that I have read thus far. The author provides detailed examples of JavaScript programming code that actually work when you type each one into a standard word processor and load the file into the web browser. I did not find any errors in the written code examples found in the contents of the book. I typed in all examples from start-to-finish and did not experience problems with any of the provided JavaScript programs. In addition, the included CDROM contains invaluable tools and utilities for creating and enhancing web site pages. I was impressed with the compilation of information stored on the CDROM, and I still utilize the contents frequently. It must be noted that I am now an experienced JavaScript programmer, so the contents of the CDROM must be extremely valuable to beginners. I would recommend this book to any person studying the JavaScript language, whether it be beginners, students, or professionals in the field of computer technology and programming. I currently hold a B.S. degree in Mathematical Theory, a B.S. degree in Computer Science, and am working toward an M.A. in CI(Applied Computer Technology). In addition, I hold a California Teaching Credential in Secondary Education, and I teach mathematics and computer science at Porterville High School in Porterville, California. Hence, I believe that this review has been substantiated as genuine and deserves the respective merit. In closing, I must emphasize the value of this book to beginners learning the intricacies of the language named JavaScript. It parallels the on-line guide written in HTML & JavaScript by the creators of the Netscape Navigator Browser who wrote the JavaScript language. Buy the book! It's worth it's weight in gold
