false <![CDATA[JavaScript: The Missing Manual]]> 3270030 1 JavaScript is essential for creating modern, interactive websites. But, unlike HTML and CSS, JavaScript is a true programming language with complex rules that are challenging for most web designers to learn. In JavaScript: The Missing Manual, bestselling author David McFarland teaches you how to use JavaScript in sophisticated ways -- even if you have little or no programming experience. In a clear, entertaining way, the book starts out by teaching you how to build a basic JavaScript program. Then, once you've mastered the structure and terminology, you'll learn how to use advanced JavaScript tools to add useful interactivity to your sites quickly and painlessly, rather than scripting everything from scratch. To jump-start your progress, the book offers several "living examples" -- step-by-step tutorials for building website components with JavaScript using raw materials, such as graphics and half-completed Web pages, that you can download from the book's companion website. In this book: <ul> <li>Getting Started introduces the building blocks of JavaScript, and general tips on computer programming. Learn to add scripts to a web page; store and manipulate information; communicate with the browser window; respond to events like mouse clicks and form submissions; and identify and modify HTML.</li> <li>Building Web Page Features provides real-world examples of JavaScript in action. Learn to create pop-up navigation bars, enhance HTML tables, build an interactive photo gallery, and make web forms more usable. Create interesting user interfaces with tabbed panels, accordion panels and pop-up dialog boxes. </li> <li>Troubleshooting and Debugging shows you how to avoid the ten most common errors new programmers make, and how to find and fix bugs.</li> <li>Communicating with the Web Server covers Ajax, the approach that made JavaScript glamorous. Learn to use JavaScript to communicate with a server so that your web pages can receive information without having to reload.</li> </ul> If you want to put JavaScript to work right away without getting tangled up in code, JavaScript: The Missing Manual is the best book available. 3305371 23 7 2008 JavaScript: The Missing Manual total:5|5:2|4:3|3:0|2:0|1:0| 5 22 15 2 4 0 false false Mon Jan 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 19:55:06 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 19:57:54 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Sep 20 09:36:42 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 09:36:53 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 03:42:32 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 03:42:40 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 02 10:40:14 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 10:40:14 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 00:17:19 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 00:17:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 00:13:16 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 00:13:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 14 17:13:05 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 17:13:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 10 22:59:01 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 22:59:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 12 14:30:55 -0700 2009 Wed Feb 25 05:27:27 -0800 2009 Sun Apr 12 14:30:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 10 05:29:54 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 05:55:27 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jan 18 07:22:12 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 07:22:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 30 11:41:29 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 11:41:31 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Aug 29 06:07:41 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 06:07:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 17 07:14:20 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 07:14:32 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat May 03 20:35:35 -0700 2008 Sat May 03 20:35:42 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3270030
