I feel the Kasper's review is overly negative so to be fair and balance things up I give this book 5 stars - granted, I have only read the first 5 chapters but so far the writing is engaging, concepts are explained clearly and the material seems to be well organised and the tutorials are entertaining and its clear some work has gone into them. As a book for getting things done it excels - if a library exists eith the code you need why waste time reinventing the wheel? If you need an exhaustive account of javascript's features there is 'the definitive guide'. On the strength of the first 5 chapters I bought David Mac Sawyer's 'CSS, the missing manual'. If you're looking for a book to get you into javascript and and putting it to work making your sites look good I say go for it. When I have finished the book I'll try to give an updated review, time permitting. |
