Summary: Good Simple Reference For Javascript
Comment: I like this book as I have a good handle on Javascript but don't use it everyday. When I need Javascript, it is usually for something common like popping up a new browser window, working with timers, etc. What is nice about this book is that you can find exactly what you are looking for with short explanations that will enable you to solve your problems fast with the proper syntax. I would recommend this book to programmers who occasionally use Javascript and need a quick reference with short and clear examples.

Summary: Great for experienced programmers trying to learn Javascript
Comment: If you are an experienced programmer who is a javascript beginner, this would be a good place to start. The book is clearly organized and explaines a large number of basic javascript concepts in quick concise language. The examples are short but focused on the concept being explained, and are very easy to follow. And their are plenty of them. The only drawback is that the book doesn't spend any time on programming fundamentals, so if you have never programmed before you probably will want to try something else. If you have programmed before, you probably don't want that stuff any. It only gets in the way.
Word up.

Summary: Okay Book
Comment: On the whole, it's got some useful examples that can teach you some of the basics. However, a lot of space was wasted in trying to oversimply by using screens. The authors should have focused more on explaining the basics of javascript. Having said that, the book is clearly written and the layout is easy to follow.
