I have been teaching myself to program from books since 1991. On my shelf are books by Petzold ,Prosise, and Appleman. I have been dabbling with Javascript for the last 4 years and felt I needed something more comprehensive than the Dummies reference I have been relying on. Perhaps it is just because I fall dead center of this book's target readership but, having almost completed the Core Guide section, I would say David Flanagan has produced the best programming book I have ever read. His approach is rational and his writing is succinct. He imparts his understanding of the topic without dogmatic assertions and without his ego intruding into the text. I am devouring this book like a novel, learning something with just about every page I turn, and cannot wait to get on to the Client-Side Javascript in Part 2. |
