5.0étoiles sur 5 Invaluable reference, Jui 21 2006
Many authors and publishers produce a lot of verbose books that add little content of any use. As a senior developer, I need to access information quickly that is concise and practical. JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook by Danny Goodman is both practical and concise. It is a must for any serious developer.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Indispensable, Jui 25 2004
Par David Stapleton (California) - Voir tous mes commentaires

As the title says, this is a Cookbook of JavaScript recipes. While it does devote a few chapters at the beginning to the basics of JavaScript, do not expect a book to teach you the basics of JavaScript. However, you can expect the contents to cover a reasonable number of common situations and solutions for enhancing web pages.

The author covers topics including: navigation menus (mouseovers and expandable trees), graphic layering, frames, positioning and dynamic content. In addition, he offers a chapter on style sheets that provides a wonderful resource for this often neglected topic.

Throughout the book the author presents each topic with an overview, followed by selected problems, solutions, code samples and code walk throughs. The prose is concise and well written.

For additional reference on JavaScript, try JavaScript: The Definitive Guide.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An excellent compilation of useful code snippets., Avril 23 2004
Par Michael Kelly (San Diego, California United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've had the book two days and it has paid for itself a couple times over already. I wish I'd had it about two weeks earlier.

If you 1) already know a programming language such as C (or really, any procedural language for that matter), 2) are new to Javascript and 3) need to do some web programming with Javascript, this book is great. Before I bought it, I tried to figure out some of the stuff myself
(ie common Javascript problems: 'data validation in a textbox in a form','setting the focus','opening a new window','jumping back to the parent window',etc)
by using my Javascript language reference book and looking up the problem on the web. I'd usually find a solution, but if I would have had this book at the time I could have just looked it up and saved myself a load of time.

I'd almost recommend it before a Javascript reference (but you'll eventually need one of those anyway).

So, it will come in the most handy for someone relatively new to Javascript who needs to get up to speed quickly on common Javascript tasks, but will also remain useful even to an expert as a reference book of often needed useful code snippets.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A must-have book..., Janv. 8 2004
Par Thomas Duff "Duffbert" (Portland, OR United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Review
In order to be proficient in a technology, you need to have a solid reference manual for it. Often this need can be filled very well with the "Nutshell" series by O'Reilly. But if you're like me, you also want to have a good source of examples and explanations of how to do basic things. This book fills that role extremely well for JavaScript and DHTML.

Danny Goodman is well known for his JavaScript Bible. The JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook complements that title to show both beginners and experienced developers different ways to use the language. As someone who isn't quite as adept at JavaScript as he should be, I find this book invaluable in giving me code that I can immediately use and build on. Between the working examples and a good technical reference, you can go far.

Each section in the chapter presents a problem, a solution, and a discussion of the issue. You're told what browser versions will support this approach, and you are also pointed to other sections in the book that relate to the same issue. It's a useful approach to presenting the material that gets quick results. Goodman also includes JavaScript subroutines that accomplish functions that are commonly needed but aren't something you can do in a couple lines of code. Great code to use for your own applications.

For Notes/Domino/Websphere developers, all the information in this review applies. If you are getting started in web development, get this book along with a good JavaScript reference book. Between the two of them, you will have all that you need to start producing solid web applications.

Conclusion
I highly recommend this book for both JavaScript/DHTML beginners and pros. The beginners will learn how to effectively use the languages, and the pros will pick up a few tricks that they didn't know before.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A treasure chest, Déc 25 2003
Par Un client
This book has been extraordinarily helpful. It contains an excellent blend of examples layered onto concepts (i.e., a cookbook with an in-depth discussion behind every recipe). Particularly valuable are the many techniques and solutions it introduces that call upon an enormous amount of collective wisdom regarding different browser behaviors and their respective DOMs. It's the kind of stuff that will help you provide a cross-browser solution in minutes rather than spending hours to reinvent some pretty tricky wheels.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very Good, Sep 27 2003
Par Un client
The JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is about using javascript and css to create dynamic user interfaces for your web application. Each "recipe" starts with a statement of the problem. This is followed by the solution, which includes the code to make it run. After the solution section, a discussion
section follows. The discussion section includes explanations of why the code works and various alternatives.

The book is broken up into chapters and each chapter consists of recipes that relate to the main topic of the chapter. For every chapter, there is an introduction, which is a very good summary of the DHTML topic. Just reading the chapter introductions would give a high level overview of DHTML.

The recipes are practical solutions for problems that a developer could actually encounter. There are not flashy recipes that are useless. The recipes consist of simple solutions to complex solutions to application problems. The book could be used as a reference to solve a particular problem that you have or the book could be read, especially the discussion sections, to understand how to solve problems with DHTML. The only drawback to using the code for a recipe is that some recipe built on top on other recipes and you need to find the previous recipe.

In summary, I would recommend this book for any client-side web developer.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great writer and thus a great book, Sep 25 2003
Par Stephen Yum (Los Angeles, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Not only does Danny Goodman know what he's talking about, he's also a great writer. I've read books where the author may know what the heck he/she's talking about, but can't write worth a damn. Or writes well but doesn't know anything, or none of the above (let's face it - there are many authors like that).

Not Danny. He knows his stuff inside and out, and his knowledge is only surpassed by his ability to write. This is probably the best book I've read on a subject that has always been a thorn in my side (can't do without it; pain to do with it). In fact, this is probably one of the best technical books I've read. And I have a shelf full of O'Reilly books, Oracle Press, MS Press, etc.

Thanks to this book, I'm using Javascript for many things I previously did with server side scripting. I can't tell you how many times I had obscure questions about such and such only to have it answered on one of the pages in this book. Not only did the book answer my rather obscure questions completely, but I was able to find the answer quickly because it's damn well organized.

And his recipes are not only great as reference but as tutorials as well. This book is a keeper. Kudos to Danny. Hope he makes a million bucks with this book!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Practical and Very Useful, Sep 18 2003
Par Abhay Avachat (Cupertino, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
As the title says, this is a cookbook - containing examples and solutions for features and problems a JavaScript programmer may need from time to time.

It is much more than just a collection of cut and paste JavaScript code, although you can use it that way if you want to. It contains lucid and concise explanation of what is going on in each recipe. That is immensely useful if you want to customize the scripts.

The receipes range from fairly simple to quite complex, and at about 150, they are most likely to meet all your needs. They are arranged according to a theme (broswer based customization, style sheets, frames etc). The organization helps you to find what you are looking for very fast and put the solution to immediate use. A discussion at the begining of every chapter is very helpful too.

Whether you do a lot of client side scripting for web applications or are just looking for an occassional script to enhance you web pages, this book is extremely useful. Don't reinvent the wheel, just buy this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 It's the truth, Sep 5 2003
Par Ashley (Ang Mo Kio, Singapore) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I've been doing web development almost 7 days a week for the last five years. This book is a delight and would have saved me countless hours if it had been available sooner.

Straightforward, clean, concise, thorough, basically what everone else is saying. The parts of the book with slightly deeper javascript programming will be best appreciated by those who have a background in at least one programming/scripting language; they are clearly explained and excellent but sometimes idiomatic in their brevity.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Absolutely Essential JavaScript Reference, Juil 17 2003
Par Robert W Husted (Westminster, CO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
On several occasions I have needed a quick answer to a common development problem... how to bring a window into the foreground; detect the browser type; block double-clicks (so that forms aren't submitted multiple times by accident); etc. This book has answers to all of these questions and more.

In addition, the book has code and explanations for various kinds of DHTML solutions. I have already used the code in this book on two separate projects, saving me several hours of development time and effort. The code samples are excellent and easy to configure, and Danny's explanations are clear and concise. Don't reinvent the wheel, just plugin these code samples and get on with your project. If you need the code to work slightly differently (as I've needed on several occasions), no worries! The code samples are concise and readable, so it's relatively easy to customize the code for your needs.

This book is essential for any true JavaScript developer. It's made a welcome addition to my professional library.
