About the Author

Dr. Joe Burns is a professor of communications and the sole creator of the popular HTML Goodies Web site. He has been creating Web sites since the first version of Mosaic was released. Joe gets constant questions and feedback from his audience (over 150 e-mails a day!), and has used these insights to create better and better Web tutorials. Through HTML Goodies, he has taught hundreds of thousands of people how to build Web sites. His first book, HTML Goodies, has been very well received.

From the Back Cover

This book is a fun and easy introduction to increasing your Web site's interactivity with JavaScript. Author Joe Burns' content and approach have been proven by the success of the HTML Goodies Web site. The HTML Goodies Web Site (htmlgoodies) receives over 390,000 visitors a month. The site has received over 75 awards in the last year, from such organizations as USA Today and CMP Publishing (publishers of popular computer magazines like Home PC, Windows Magazine, and Internet Week). The newest part of the Web site, JavaScript Goodies, has also become the most popular. This book takes the same approach to teaching as his popular Web site: know what beginners need, give them great examples and code they can immediately use, and keep it fast and fun. The book goes far beyond JavaScript basics. It teaches readers sophisticated programming techniques and shows readers how to build the most popular interactive Web features, including animations, slideshows, visitor counters, random number generators, and more. The book is heavily tied into the Web site--each lesson and example in the book will have a direct URL to the JavaScript area on the HTML Goodies Web site where the reader can actually see exactly how the HTML code works. The Web Goodies site will also heavily advertise and cross-promote the book.
