Internet and World Wide Web: How to Program

This book is an excellent book for beginners and for people who want to improve their programming skills. The chapters are well explained and the exercises make sure that you understand the chapter before moving ahead. Not only has this book helped me, but I had contacted the authors with different questions when I got stuck and they were very helpful. This book is well worth it!!!!

I am entirely happy with my purchase of Internet and World Wide Web: How to Program 3rd edition. The people at Deitel have done a spectacular job of explaining JavaScript. It the most comprehensive and complete explanation I have yet to come across. In addition, they have proven themselves to provide phenomenal product support.

One of very few assigned textbooks which has proven practical both inside and outside of the classroom. The authors provide numerous examples on each topic presented, and the progression of topics within the book is logical. The material is relevant to modern technologies, and this book is actually fun to work through. Where errors or difficultiesd have been found in the book or the enclosed CD, the Deitel website has been all that was necessary to fill the gaps. Hats off to Deitel!

I learned an incredible amount and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
