Book Reviews of JavaScript for the World Wide Web, Fifth Edition (Visual QuickStart Guide)
Book Review: First Edition, Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the first edition and haven't seen this edition. That said, it is the best book I've seen for beginners. The closest contenders in my opinion are: _Designing with JavaScript_ by Nick Heinle (much more elaborate example code) and _Official Netscape JavaScript 1.2_ (more complete in every way...but then it is 3-4 times longer! ). The best part about this book vs. others is the chart at the end which displays all the standard objects with their methods and properties. Haven't seen such a useful, concise reference anywhere else. Study/understand that chart and you've mastered JavaScript.
This book assumes practically no prior programming experience/knowledge. The examples are extremely simple and explained in detail in a build-up style with color coding.
If you want to learn the laguage through self-study, this is the book for you! Or, at least it was the book for me. :-)
