This book offers a simple and easy introduction to JavaScript. I suspect, although I haven’t searched to confirm, that the book is an abbreviated version of a larger edition, and you can tell. There are explanations or mechanics that are used or that you are asked to use for the exercises that aren’t anywhere in the book. It left me scratching my head a couple times. The example in the chapter on making browser extensions isn’t usable as the page called by the Ajax command no longer exists. Overall the information here is easy enough to follow that if the reader is willing to do a bit of searching for supplemental information when something has changed or something seems to be missing from the text, the book acts as a decent quick guide to the most basic concepts of JavaScript. It should be noted that the reader should have at least a basic familiarity with HTML and CSS in order to get the most out of the book.

The SAMS books are straightforward, starting just where I need them to and moving along quickly. The inclusion of Greasemonkey scripts made this book jump out from all the others on the shelf.

Very comprehensive. Great layout, great examples! This was very useful as a supplemental book for my Interactive Website Class. I highly recommend for someone at a basic level of Javascript.
