Summary: Keep your hair on your head and let your nails grow long.
Comment: Finally a book about Javascript that ends all the hair pulling and nail biting for those of us who like to keep things simple. I just got this book and all I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. After spending endless hours surfing the Web for a way to compose lively, interactive websites, I found the wave of the future and rode it into the Javascript beach only to find myself wiped out on the reefs of books that didn't answer all my questions in easy to understand Amerenglish (American English) This book is a delight from the first sip to the last dregs in the cup. It explains browser compatability issues (which all web authors are concerned with) objects, scripting, the whole shebang in simple, easy to understand language. This book makes Javascript available to the Non-programming masses. It takes you through the motions and sets you on your feet. From there it's a totally tubular ride dude. So if you want to take off and set new standards with amazing web pages, this is the book for you. Congratulations to Aaron Weiss, et al for a " totally awesome" well written book. Thanks Dude

Summary: Easiest Way to Learn JavaScript
Comment: This book is well organized and formatted in a way that will help non-technical people learn the basics of JavaScript. There is plenty of humor throughout the book to keep you from getting bored with the details, including cartoons at the beginning of each section. It is divided into four parts each part going more in depth into the basics of JavaScript. The first section explains what JavaScript is and how it fits into the scheme of the Internet. The second section helps you get a JavaScript capable browser up and running and also explains how JavaScript is incorporated into web pages. The third section explains the different parts of JavaScript and how to use them in terms anyone can understand. This is achieved by using everyday examples to explain the different parts of JavaScript. The fourth section contains JavaScript examples and ideas on how to implement JavaScript on your web pages. In short this book is perfect for those of us who are not technically minded. It helps explain what JavaScript is and how to use it in terms anyone can understand.

Summary: Hopeless
Comment: I found this book one of the worst teach yourself titles I have ever come across. It really doesn't come across that author has any practical grasp of the subject. There is a sad lack of practical examples until the final chapters, which make it very difficult to learn as you go. The examples given contain errors. The pathetic humour is irritating in the extreme (particularly on second and third readings). I learnt so little from this book, and became so confused, that I began to doubt my ability to understand Javascript at all despite a programming background. Fortunately I came across Nick Heinle's book on the same subject and so got to understand that Javascript really isn't that difficult after all. So if you've read this book and decided Javascript is beyond you, think again.
