I believe you got the wrong book. This book is really written as a reference guide, not a beginner programming guide. I would suggest that you look at Learning JavaScript (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596521875/) . O'Reilly has a system to their books where in a particular language series there is a Learning, Programming, Cookbook and the Definitive Guide. The Learning book is pretty much for the first-time programmer. The Programming, I have found, is for person who has used extensively one or two other languages and would like to add this language to their list. The Cookbook is how to solve some rather complex and common problems and the Definitive Guide is well, the reference guide. There are many other learning JavaScript books out there. I would suggest going to a good bookstore and browsing the first few chapters of each one until you find one that fits you best. I keep this book on my desk and find myself constantly looking at it. |
