Rating: This book is deceitful: it looks too big to be useful. Yet there is no other source of information that so concisely addresses JavaScript language. The comparisons the author frequently makes to C/C++/Java/Perl are most welcome. After reading this book I wrote a non-trivial javascript web application that I could not have imagined writing prior to reading this book. This book is a unique resource just as JavaScript is a unique language from the usual mix of C/C++/VB/Java/Perl. This book describes a language to control both IE and Netscape in ways that nothing else can. I highly recommend it. ------------- Mike
