JavaScript Interactive Course

I bought this particular book because it featured a link to the website for interactive testing and I could read the entire text online. This eliminated the need to have the text on hand at work, which facilitated me completing the course during my lunchtimes and break times. This feature alone made it worth half its price to me. I did note some errors, but I don't find that too surprising with computer books these days in this price range. I was able to spot the coding errors once I ran the script and the debugging dialog boxes displayed. In some ways that challenged me to better examine what was going on and learn from it. It's an easy reading book, and gave a fair overview of where JavaScript fits in. As a reference book, however, it is difficult to zero in on exactly what you're looking for. Once I started programming JavaScript, I found I needed a language reference, indexed, with table of contents. The CD-ROM included with the text helps in that it contains the code for all the examples in the book, but nothing more. I did not take advantage of the CEU option, but I did download and print the completion certificate.

I started learning JS from three books, found this one with more clarity and precise explanations. Recommended for people who want to learn js in minimum time.

This was my first book on Javascript, and I must say that it has enabled me to now include javascript into several of my latest projects. If you're looking for a great javascript resource this is it, and the online examples and tests are great

I am a beginner of Javascript and this is the first book that I've bought for this subject. Actually, I feel that the structure or format of the book is quite good. After following the first few Chapters, I have begin to understand more about Javascript and to do some simple programs as well. Of course we can't just rely on a book in order to become a good programmer. I have tried some of the examples and samples and it work well as it should. The Interactive Course is still new but I think it is a good way to learn especially when the on-line help is given
