Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book reads like it was slapped together from a small handful of quick notes. Actually, I would think someone could make better notes than that. The disc does not contain the example codes the book says it does. It’s a rather expensive way to waste your time in an attempt to learn something. The explanations are weak and much too brief for a beginner or even someone with programming experience. I thought it would be a fun way to get started before I moved on to more advanced books, but it is incomprehensible and a great frustration to read. Buyer beware, and notice how poorly this book has been rated.

⭐It’s okay but I feel as though more material could have been covered. It’s a good introduction to Javascript although the book itself is very outdated (mentions IE6 and Netscape).Versions do matter and I would skip this one and go with a more up to date version.If you want to learn Javascript I wouldn’t recommend it because there are much better books out there.

⭐This book is good for a quick introduction to JavaScript. There’s lots of general tricks and techniques, plenty of ideas, and code snippets to reuse (on the CD). However, the descriptions of HOW the code worked I found lacking. There were various details about exactly WHAT the Js interpreter was doing to parse the code. The book left me feeling that I had lots of great ideas, but that when I sat down to apply them and make something original–there’d be lots of bugs based on details that I wasn’t told about. Good starter, good reference–definitely not “text-book” quality–but it was fun to play with.

⭐No it did not because the c that went with it was broke when I got it. I tried to get the seller to tell me where I could get another to replace it. The book is no good without the cd.

⭐Not to sound trite, but this book was written by Dummies…. the examples are not true to life, there are too many mistakes and the explaination of JavaScript is too complicated and overblown.

⭐The accompanying CD is very good. It’s OK but out of date.

⭐good book but prior lil knowledge is best!

⭐If you are learning JavaScript first learn some HTML then get this book. It will give enough background to get an a in any college course, but do it before you start the course.

⭐Bought for customising pdf forms. Better stuff on line for pdf forms but this explains use on web pages very well.Seller a good cause

⭐Helpful to the Student

⭐Ok book but outdated now

⭐Clear, Concise Style.
