The JavaScript Pocket Guide pdf版

JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language that enables you
to modify a document’s structure, styling, and content in response to
user actions. This handy pocket serves as both a quick introduction to
the language and acts a valuable reference. It’s packed with tips as
well as JavaScript syntax, methods, and properties. Concise and
inexpensive, it’s exactly the guide many web designers and developers
need.

Review
JavaScript over the years has really prgressed into the most used
programming language on the web today. Almost every website today uses
some form of JavaScript, whether it be used within a server-side
programming technology like ASP.NET or a JavaScript library like jQuery
or Mootools, or YUI or creating UI components like widgets. JavaScript
is everywhere and if you do any sort of web design or development you
need to get a hang on it.

There are lots of online resources on JavaScript, and I mean LOTS.
But it may take you awhile to go through it all to find what you
specifically want. So there are LOTS of books you can get as well on
JavaScript, but if you already have a basic understanding of JavaScript,
most are way more than you need. When your working on something, you
just need a quick and easy way to find a reference on an object or
property or technique in JavaScript and this book will be exactly what
you need.

This is an excellent book covering all the basics, language syntax,
object bascis, DOM properties and methods, Ajax overview and much more.
This ‘little’ book covers more than you could every imagine and also
covers more intermeidate-advanced topics such as creating drop-down
menus, image slide-shows, Ajax, and much more.

I love this little book and will be the first book I grab for when I
need to figure out something in JavaScript. Best money can buy!
