Synopsis
A quick, easy guide to building cutting-edge intelligence into your website
Without "smart," interactive content, your website just won't cut it with today's savvy Web surfers. Fortunately, with JavaScript, it's now incredibly easy to build intelligent sites, and this book shows you how.
Featuring a rapid skill-building format, this book is organized around goals you want to accomplish with JavaScript rather than the language's technical aspects. Even if you've never programmed a line of code in your life, you'll quickly learn how to enliven your site with the smarts it needs to automatically tailor its content to an individual user's needs, solve problems, make decisions, create new pages on the fly, and even close sales!
Nigel Ford eases you into the basics of JavaScript and then, with the help of dozens of vivid examples, teaches you:
* Basic and advanced techniques for adding intelligence to your Web pages
* How to store different types of knowledge in your Web pages
* Techniques for handling requests, accessing files, and using databases in server-side JavaScript
* Programming for language processing, searching, problem solving, and game playing
* How to program for both the client side and server side with JavaScript.

Reviews
Ford's book is aimed at folks who want to add interactivity to web sites with JavaScript. The first half of the book consists of three chapters: obtaining information from users, processing information to add value, and communicating results. Providing good reference value, Ford uses a structure of a desired "action" followed by "how-to-do-it" instructions. His general actions, for which most people will have some use, include prompting the reader for information and using a text box. The second half of the book discusses problem-solving, storing knowledge, pattern matching, game playing, dynamic HTML, and JavaScript. This is an excellent book for beginners, who can advance into very complex design considerations in the later chapters.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
