Clearest javascript book I have encountered

I am an advanced programmer/webmaster, and I found this book to contain clear, concrete, and usable examples of javascript. Pedagogy is very clear, both for beginners and novices. CD comes with code that works. Buy this book if you want to learn or incorporate javascript into your web pages.Code always contains browser type checking to provide compatibility with browser types.New edition is due out August 2000 so you might want to get that edition.

An Excellent Resource

This book is excellent. The scripts Heinle uses as examples throught the book are easy to understand & modify to suit your needs. But more importantly, a lot of the scripts aren't just for show. Most of them have a practical purpose & can be used for important functions like form validation & browser detection.

Excellent First Steps-No Prior Experience Necessary!

I found this book to be informative and concise. Several JavaScript books that I've read in the past required some knowledge of programming concepts. This is definitely not one of them. The author explains the code snippets line by line with references no less! (e.g. line A containing...etc...does this...., line B....etc) I highly recommend this book for the non-programmer or programming novice. Much better than most of the "for Dummies" series.

...Soo easy

Being one of those hands-on author of small websites, i came across this amazing book. Nick Heinle showed me the intuitive approach and i am ever so gratefull to him: What at first seemed like a closed world of geek-talk, suddently became a fun game. With no programming experience whatsoever, i was making interactive web-design in 2 hours flat.

One stop javasript Book

There isn't really much to say about this book other than it has everything you want to know in it. Giving examples, clear instructions and great layout the book tops anything anyone else could dream of printing.
