Book Reviews of JavaScript: The Definitive Guide
Book Review: it's the sacred scripture of Javascript
Summary: 5 Stars
Although you can always find snippets of Javascript online, sometimes you need to sit down with a paper book and read up on the whole schlemiel. This is THE essential reference for everything Javascript, which makes it important if exploring Ajax. It can be overwhelming for beginners, but it has a great index, and it won't be long before you're jumping here and there to get the real scoop on Javascript.
Book Review: Definitive Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Worthy of its title, this book is very well organized and covers everything you need to know about JavaScript and it does so concisely.
This fifth edition is up-to-date enough to stand very useful for quite some time to come - a wealth of interrelated information all in one place.
This book is a must-have reference for any web developer interested in adding interactivity to their web content.
Book Review: Best Javascript Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best explanation I have seen about javascript that doesnt read like a document.
Remember that other reviewers who have complaints are complaining about the 4th edition of the book. 5th edition doesnt have the lackings of the previous edition. My only suggestion is that the concepts could have been explained using many more diagrams especially with regard to execution context.
Book Review: Excellent book, complete and well written.
Summary: 5 Stars
Authoritative, very well written, very well structured, complete, a pleasure to read.
The intricacies of Javascirpt are very well explained, it might not be an easy read for the average script kiddie but if you want a book that thoroughly describes the language and its browser integration, events, dom, css handling ... look no further.
Book Review: The best JavaScript book
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm purchasing all editions of this book as soon as they are published. It's a best JavaScript book I ever read. I enjoy its clear, precise academic and inspiring style. Especially if you like C++ or Java, if you enjoy reading Stroustrup's classic book you're going to like this one too. It's not a "cookbook", it teaches you you a language.
