Javascript

By Michelle DeWolfe and Paul Kooros

Many webmasters don't have time to learn a high level programming language, yet every webmaster needs his site to be as content rich and interactive as possible. JavaScript is the answer to these needs--a simple scripting language that allows the administrator to use the vast majority of the functionality of the Java language. Extensive examples and code are presented where appropriate.

Programming for the non-programmer

Of the four JavaScript books I have bought this is the only one that gives a gentle introduction to programming for the non-programmer, the others seem to assume knowledge of C++, Java or the like. Although way out of date, written for JavaScript 1.1 as found in Netscape 3.0, it teaches the basic language well with lots of examples. This was one of those rare books which gave me some those "Aha! So that's how it works" moments. I would recommend the O'Reilly JavaScript book by Danny Goodman as a good companion to this one. One note: the included CD-ROM doesn't seem to be coordinated to the book.
