Synopsis

Have you wanted to learn how to program? Have you wanted to improve your web site, or your web site development skills? Do you know some HTML and want to take the next steps? Are you a graphic or web designer who wants to be more employable? These days competent programmers have identified Javascript’s real potential and uses, and it has gone from a toy language to the main language of the browser. It has become one of the most useful languages of this era. Every developer needs at least a basic understanding of Javascript. A developer who knows Javascript is the rockstar of the company and is in constant demand by employers. This Javascript Book will get you started by teaching all the essential aspects of coding in Javascript. Based on the author's popular classroom and internet class, this is not just a book, but an interactive course on Javascript complete with lab exercises and dozens of code examples. You'll not only learn the Javascript syntax but be well practiced in basic Javascript development as you work through the code examples and labs.

About the Author

Mark Lassoff 's parents frequently claim that Mark was born to be a programmer. In the mid-eighties when the neighborhood kids were outside playing kickball and throwing snowballs, Mark was hard at work on his Commodore 64 writing games in the BASIC programming language. Computers and programming continued to be a strong interest in college where Mark majored in communication and computer science. Upon completing his college career, Mark worked in the software and web development departments at several large corporations. In 2001, on a whim, while his contemporaries were conquering the dot-com world, Mark accepted a position training programmers in a technical training center in Austin, Texas. It was there he fell in love with teaching programming. Teaching programming has been Mark's passion for the last 10 years. Today Mark is a top technical trainer, traveling the country providing training for software and web developers. Mark's training clients include the Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, Discover Card Services, and Kaiser Permaente. Mark's clients rate his classes 9.81/10, with consistent perfect scores on participant evaluations. In addition to traditional classroom training, Mark is a sought after video trainer and host. He has authored and hosted video courses for several publishers, including his own company LearnToProgram.tv, Inc.. Mark has authored over 15 online courses and works with students from all 50 states and over 47 countries. Over 10,000 people have learned programming skills from Mark's courses. He lives near Hartford, Connecticut in a 150 year old converted textile mill.
