essential JavaScript for Web Professionalsessential JavaScript FOR Web Professionals is an excellent book to get you started with JavaScripting. The book jumps right into the "essential" things you need to know and takes you step by step through the scripting process. It outlines correct scripting syntax and explains why you need to do it that way. This book doesn't just give you the code to use, it takes you through the code, explains it, and then recaps what you should have learned by going over it again at the end of each chapter to reinforce your learning. The example lessons in the book cover browser and platform detection, last-modified date for web pages and inserting copyright information, image rollovers, drop down menus, form handling, creating frames with JavaScript, and more. You'll learn about arrays and functions, what they are and how to create them. The appendix covers JavaScript event handlers, and objects. Also at the end of each chapter are advanced projects for you to do to test your learning of the concepts in the previous chapter. The book moves along quickly and doesn't bog you down in a lot of detailed technical data or rambling. Don't mistake what I said to mean that the book is not technical. It is a technical book, however, not to the point that it is confusing. It's easy to work right along with the examples and easily pick up the concepts being taught. This is an excellent resource to get you going with the most popular types of javascripts and gives you the knowledge to expand your horizons and create your own.
