It may also be because it was written the way most computer tutorial books are written: badly. I mean, these peopl Long, long ago, in a country far away, I attempted to teach myself JavaScript.
I mean, these people are supposed to be good at logic, right? If so, why does their writing seem so completely illogical. I usually make it to, oooh, about the third paragraph. I give up. Not only does he write in a simple and engaging style, his writing actually makes sense. I followed it the entire way through. This really irritates me because I have no desire to create an animated rock or a site that processes sales for a sports company.
In case you thought I made those up, they were examples in other books I also looked at. Instead, he takes you through simple examples and tutorials which are designed specifically for the task you are applying them to. If you already know HTML and want to take it further, this is an excellent resource to do that with.

I'm cleaning up my book shelf for an upcoming move and gave a quick browse through the rest of this. The only reason it has 3 stars now is because it's dated, as tech tends to do. It still seems to have good explanations on why to do things and that can still be useful and there are some server connection things So I had quit reading this almost halfway through when I lost free webhosting quite a long time ago.

I don't feel as though I wasted my time reading this book, however, I didn't quite get what I thought I was getting when I ordered it some time ago. That's fine with me, as I eventually wanted to learn jQuery, but I feel as though I still don't have a good handle on JavaSc I don't feel as though I wasted my time reading this book, however, I didn't quite get what I thought I was getting when I ordered it some time ago.
That's fine with me, as I eventually wanted to learn jQuery, but I feel as though I still don't have a good handle on JavaScript. I think this book would help someone who needed to jump into the JavaScript pool rather quickly to do some specific things, but I don't think it's a good first or maybe even second book for someone who wants an in-depth understanding of JavaScript.
Recommended, but with reservations. Aug 29, Rob rated it did not like it Shelves: comp-sci , via-deadtree. Not what I was looking for. Simultaneously too introductory to programming, and too disorganized to give me the structure, both in languages and libraries that I'm looking for. I'm much preferring Eloquent JavaScript instead.
