Learn Javascript (Web Programming/Development)

Learn JavaScript by Chuck Easttom takes a practical approach to demonstrating how to enhance web pages using JavaScript. Written specifically for those who are new to JavaScript, the book begins with introductions to HTML and JavaScript and progresses through the process of developing a fully functional commercial web site. As new concepts are introduced, they are thoroughly explained and then applied to the web site project. Along the way, the reader learns about such topics as the Document Object Model, JavaScript objects, hyperlinks, date and time, strings, and dynamic menus. The book also explains how to create simple games using JavaScript and includes a chapter on tips and tricks. The appendixes contain command references for HTML and JavaScript, and a listing of online resources for further study. This introductory title in JavaScript targets one of the most popular programming languages for Web development. The title has a unique approach, using building blocks so readers have developed a complete Web site by the end of the title. Now I will be the first to admit that this sample web page is very trivial.
