This book explain nothing, is consumed in a stupid “friendly” manner that only leaves you hanging at the and of the day.Not an intro neither a reference or an in depth book. It won’t be a help to noone, neither novice nor a pro. Just don’t bother.

I have a good background in HTML, ASP w/ VBS, and SQL. JavaScript was my next step. I was really getting into the book for about the first 6 chapters, and then before I knew it, I was at the end of the book. I knew all of these symbols and “code”, but I did not feel as if I knew anything about JavaScript. If I had it to do over, I would buy a different book to get started. I am going to try one of Wrox beginner books and just start over.

This book sucks. There are not NEAR enough examples, and the examples that ARE given are both incomplete (for example, giving ONLY an example of a loop instead of a complete script) and CRYPTIC AS HELL. This book should be used to stoke fires, not to teach JavaScript. It’s not for beginners or pros. SKIP IT.

I usually read books reviews on Amazon before purchasing a text; I picked this book up at a bookstore, and was very disappointed. I would not recommned it, unless you like to feel that you are wasting your time. It’s very cryptic and spends no time on significant topics: functions, arrays, loops etc. Perhaps, one is supposed to read between the lines?? Get the Beginners Javascript by Wilton.
