Read This Twice: a complete NEWCOMMER JavaScript book

I remember having read this book (the first version, though - yet I doubt to be major changes in the text).

Before making any speculations, I must put it flat: I have never had programmed in ANY way, until reading that book. The only kind of a computer related "language" I *partially* knew, was HTML.

I have read this book - it took me about 2 weeks - and than I actually wrote my first JavaScript "program"! Another month of consulting more in-depth manuals and I was able to develop a complex object-oriented JavaScript script.

How's that for a JavaScript book?

I decided to write that review since I've seen around a lot of down thumbs, and felt sort of an injustice.

I didn't mind the humor (although not so natural), nor did I disliked the "energy bill" IF clause, the "mugs receipt" WHILE loop, the "coke & pizza" FUNCTION, and whatever (kind of) funny analogies from real world I found within. Why?

Because it is an *absolute novice's* book, please retain that, and I took it that way. If you did some sort of programming before, than you definitely will find all that run around the JavaScript tail a piece of rubbish.

So, KNOW where you're standing before buying a programming book: advanced, intermediate, novice, or... simply outside. This book is for outsiders, and it is a perfectly decent written book for outsiders.

Thank you for your time
