JavaScript and Ajax for the Web: Visual QuickStart Guide

by Tom Negrino, Dori Smith

This task-based, visual reference guide has been fully revised. It uses step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots to give beginning and intermediate Web designers what they need to know to learn JavaScript. Readers can start from the beginning to get a tour of the programming language, or look up specific tasks to learn just what they need to know. In this updated seventh edition, readers will find new information on Ajax design and modern coding techniques.

Starting with almost no knowledge of javascript, by the time I was done with the book, I felt sufficiently comfortable with the process and ready to ingrain the concepts and implementation process through my own applications.

The writing is dry. Starts off understandable then hits you all of a sudden with this bingo card example and its like "what just happened?" There are JavaScript books for cse (computer science engineers) and then JavaScript books for Designers/front end people. This would be for cse's. Even the Ajax part was made complicated and dry. The examples were dated, though the book was published in 2009. I would try another book unless you enjoy dull reads.

The examples assume that you have strong math skills....
