Good to see this book is coming back onto the shelves. Had to scrounge around recently to find my copy. Recommended to me by a JS pro. Purchased two other books previously that will soon collect dust in the used book store.
The Kent brothers REALLY explain JavaScript and and provide a good introduction to the nuances(= annoyances) of object based syntax. If you think you have to buy four or five bad references to find a good one, this is the ONE good one on JS. (Better than anything in the O'Reilly catalog.)
This is THE book many developers turn to in lieu of sharp objects and alcohol when fumbling with JavaScript. Why? It's in English and is well organized. Plus, instead of clunky CDs, you can access/copy the book's scripts over the web as you read the book. -- A reader from Miami, Florida
Out of a large library of JavaScript books, this one is the only one that never gets shelved. I've seen novices find out how to do all the things they were looking for, and I've personally used it to expand my own knowledge. If I were to own just one JS book, this'd be it. -- A reader from Selinsgrove, PA
The fact that the Online Companion disappeared was a real problem. When the publisher, Ventana, merged with Coriolis, the Online Companion -- hundreds of scripts from the book -- was taken down. This book generaly gets very good reviews. Posted is the Online Companion at the Top Floor Publishing Web site. Amazon's review policies don't allow the posting of URLs, so if you need to know where the Online Companion is, simply e-mail JavaScriptOLC@TopFloor.com to get an autoresponse that will tell you the URL. -- pkent@topfloor.com Peter Kent
