Laura Lemay's Web Workshop Javascript (Laura Lemay's Web Workshop Series) Review by anonymous
Not for beginners
I picked this book up and it gives a good introduction to javascript. However, it is NOT for the newbie. If you don't have any programming experience in a major language (C/C++, Pascal, VB, etc.) find another book. This book rushes through many concepts that adept programmers already know. As I read I kept wondering how a newcomer would absorb all the information presented here.
However, being knowledgeable in programming, I was able to pick up on how Javascript works. The book is a little dated and doesn't list all the object properties for most objects - so a reference guide is needed.
Not a bad backup book, but don't make it your only one. You'll wind up short changing yourself.
