Customer Reviews

Good book, dated topic

The book was very good with the best history of JavaScript (server and client-side) I have ever read. However, nobody in the professional world will start a project today in SSJS, the language is extinct. Only legacy web applications will be using this and there are so many better server-side languages available now.

Excellent book ever seen on server side javascript

If any one wanted to learn good SSJS programming techniques, this is the best buy. Authors not only have real stuff but they explained in a much better way than anyother about SSJS concepts with wonderful, real life examples. Ofcourse, you shoud know about javascript fundamentals (core javascript) before you read this book and authors are very specific about the content of the book and their target is only for users of SSJS

Scanned book. Looks excellent. How prevalent is SSJS?

I have scanned this book, and true to what the other reviewers have said, this book looks excellent. I like that SSJS seems to separate the business stuff from the presentation stuff (HTML) unlike ColdFusion and ASP's. How many people are using SSJS?

SSJS developers need this book.

Robert and JJ really know their stuff. It's definitely a book that SSJS developers have wanted for a long time. If you're going to program (or already developing) with SSJS, you need this book.

Helps overcome the steep SSJS learning curve.

This book helps overcome the steep learning curve associated with SSJS, providing excellent code examples and explanations. Many of the code examples can be easily and quickly modified to provide real-world capabilities.
