  Book Information

As web browsers have become more capable and standards
compliant, JavaScript has grown in prominence. JavaScript
lets designers add sparkle and life to web pages, while more
complex JavaScript has led to the rise of Ajax -- the latest
rage in web development that allows developers to create
powerful and more responsive applications in the browser
window.

Learning JavaScript introduces this powerful scripting
language to web designers and developers in
easy-to-understand terms. Using the latest examples from
modern browser development practices, this book teaches you
how to integrate the language with the browser environment,
and how to practice proper coding techniques for
standards-compliant web sites. By the end of the book,
you'll be able to use all of the JavaScript language and
many of the object models provided by web browsers, and
you'll even be able to create a basic Ajax application.
