Starting with almost no knowledge of javascript, by the time I was done with the book, I felt sufficiently comfortable with the process and ready to ingrain the concepts and implementation process through my own applications.

The writing is dry. Starts off understandable then hits you all of a sudden with this bingo card example and its like "what just happened?" There are JavaScript books for cse (computer science engineers) and then JavaScript books for Designers/front end people. This would be for cse's. Even the Ajax part was made complicated and dry. The examples were dated, though the book was published in 2009. I would try another book unless you enjoy dull reads.
