This friendly, solutions-oriented guide is filled with step-by-step examples that illustrate how to write basic to advanced JavaScript applications, as well as modify existing scripts to suit individual needs. Each chapter begins with the specific how-to topics that will be covered. Within the chapter, each topic is accompanied by a solid, easy-to-follow walkthrough of the process.
Experience programmers learning Javascript as a new language will enjoy reading this book. It is clear and concise with simple examples. Novice programmers would also find this book useful. It is organized in a traditional way in which programming is taught. As you go through the chapters, the content becomes a bit more advanced. This book would also be good for beginners, but it is not as good as Javascript: A Beginner's Guide. However, this book is not a comprehensive presentation of Javascript and the DOM. You will need a companion book that is more of a complete reference. I am currently leaning toward JavaScript Bible, but have not yet made my decision. You may also want to consider a book that is directed toward specific applications. Javascript & DHTML Cookbook falls more into this category.
Excellent Solutions-Oriented Guide

I went through several JavaScript books to find one that covered everything I needed. This book was by far the best out there. It's simple enough for the beginner, but still has useful information for someone who has written HTML & JavaScript before. It's just generally a good guide to have around.
Clear and concise guide

I bought this book after reading a good review of it on another site. I was not disappointed. The author really does a good job of going through java script programming without putting you to sleep. Great for beginners.
