Ottimo manuale, ma esclusivamente per principianti.
Dà un'introduzione a moltissimi aspetti di Javascript (compresa la gestione del DOM nei browser), con spiegazioni chiare e con uno stile di programmazione molto buono.
Ma se sapete già programmare in Javascript e cercate qualcosa che vi porti almeno a livello intermedio, lasciate perdere, perché tutte le spiegazioni si fermano prima di arrivarci.
Very involving at the beginning but gets a bit difficult at the middle for those who are new to JavaScript. However, the third part offers some of the best bits and suggestions for JavaScript implementation. Also, the way you go back and change code from previous examples is very confusing (at least for me).
Great stuff for beginners. Absolutely clear and concise! The book contains lots of useful links that were new to me. It can be too simple for professionals, but it's interesting book anyway.
