Summary: Helpful Javascript Book
Comment: If you want clear, concise explanations and examples of Javascript, this is the book. I looked at dozens of books at the bookstore and this is the one that I finally chose to spend my money on.

The main feature that I found helpful was the use of red type in the script examples to highlight the topic being covered. That makes the differences in the code jump out. Other Javascript books stick to black-and-white text where you have to hunt through both the html and script text to see what's being described.

I also found this book's concise, example oriented approach to be more appropriate to my programming needs since I just want a brief explanation of the function with an example or two. What I don't need is another 500 page compendium of Javascript taking up space on my bookshelf. This Javascript Visual Start Guide is a nicely manageable 290 pages of useful and well-indexed information.

Summary: This book gives me an UNDERSTANDING of what I'm doing!
Comment: I've browsed through several "how to" books on JavaScript and found most of them full of detail. Wonderful, but for a relative "newbie", it can be overwhelming at times. This book makes the learning curve short and makes programming fun.

In the past, I tried to figure out how they did that - looking at the source code. I'd paste in some code and spend hours trying to figure out why it didn't work. I've been to many JavaScript sites and picked up scripts here and there, but I needed a single source to speak to me in plain English.

I bought this book mainly as a primer - assuming I'd have to buy one of those huge ones later. This one has surprised me in that it seems to cover more than I want to know, and it seems to make the learning process easy. At this point, I've tried most of the simple scripts and I'm getting into the more complicated ones. I'm still understanding what I'm doing, and that helps me get the results I'm looking for.

Well laid out and seems to have the reader in mind - Keeps true to the title of the book - good diagrams, and aimed at someone who wants to get STARTED in JavaScript. An excellent book!

Summary: SCRIPTS DON'T WORK
Comment: It seems to me that most of these scripts don't work. I'm in IT and also a web site administrator, and I still can't get them to work as they are written. I give the authors a 3 for being motivated enough to write the book, though. It seems that they have good intentions.
