Product Description

Review

"Excellent, detailed guide." - Computer Shopper, February 2007

Product Description

This Fifth Edition is completely revised and expanded to cover JavaScript as it is used in today's Web 2.0 applications. This book is both an example-driven programmer's guide and a keep-on-your-desk reference, with new chapters that explain everything you need to know to get the most out of JavaScript, including:



  • Scripted HTTP and Ajax
  • XML processing
  • Client-side graphics using the canvas tag
  • Namespaces in JavaScript--essential when writing complex programs
  • Classes, closures, persistence, Flash, and JavaScript embedded in Java applications


Part I explains the core JavaScript language in detail. If you are new to JavaScript, it will teach you the language. If you are already a JavaScript programmer, Part I will sharpen your skills and deepen your understanding of the language.



Part II explains the scripting environment provided by web browsers, with a focus on DOM scripting with unobtrusive JavaScript. The broad and deep coverage of client-side JavaScript is illustrated with many sophisticated examples that demonstrate how to:



  • Generate a table of contents for an HTML document
  • Display DHTML animations
  • Automate form validation
  • Draw dynamic pie charts
  • Make HTML elements draggable
  • Define keyboard shortcuts for web applications
  • Create Ajax-enabled tool tips
  • Use XPath and XSLT on XML documents loaded with Ajax
  • And much more


Part III is a complete reference for core JavaScript. It documents every class, object, constructor, method, function, property, and constant defined by JavaScript 1.5 and ECMAScript Version 3.



Part IV is a reference for client-side JavaScript, covering legacy web browser APIs, the standard Level 2 DOM API, and emerging standards such as the XMLHttpRequest object and the canvas tag.



More than 300,000 JavaScript programmers around the world have made this their indispensable reference book for building JavaScript applications.



"A must-have reference for expert JavaScript programmers...well-organized and detailed."
-- Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Programming Books Period, Nov 25 2007
By 
This review is from: JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)
I've owned a lot of programming books in the past, but David Flanagan's Javascript The Definitive Guide is by far one of the best! This book covers all the intricate details of Javascript and contains more than enough information to get any aspiring Javascript programmer started. But it doesn't end there - this book covers advanced details such as pseudo-OO in Javascript, namespaces, Java integration, AJAX, and alot of other features other books tend to gloss over.

If you're going to buy a Javascript book, this is the one to get - Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fifth Edition an Essential JavaScript Reference, Sep 11 2006
This review is from: JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)
If there is an essential online JavaScript/Client-Development resource, it could quite possbly be the QuirksMode site. If there is an essential JavaScript book for developers, this would have to be it. JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, with its roots that date back to 1996, is pushing out its fifth edition after a four year hiatus from the previous release. And it is joining the crowd in the Ajax and Web 2.0 wave. A couple new chapters pertain to Ajax development. But what I find great about this book is the natural tendency to point out "gotchas" in everyday client-side development.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing purchase process, Oct 10 2011
This review is from: JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)
I searched for this book on your site but it was not available except through the "available from these sellers" link. However, after paying full price for a new book at one of these sites, they indicated that it was damaged in shipping and since they could not refill the order with a new book they sent a second hand book at 15 %less. However, by the time this occurred, the book was available new on your site and considerably less expensive than the cost from the other seller. I would have thought that companies under your link "available from these sellers" would be affiliates who would have been able to fill the new book request from your stock and not send second hand, even at a reduced rate. I was very disappointed with the entire process which turned out to be more costly than necessary as well as over long in being received due to the damage in shipping.
