Introduction |
While JavaScript can be used on the server (on Netscape servers, or with ASP, it is most commonly used for client-side scripting (i.e., executed in the browser). Another application is its use as an advanced batch language for Windows with the WSH. Here you'll my recommendation for some books about JavaScript. |

If you're completely new to Javascript, the Visual Quickstart Guide approach with side-by-side
explanations and screen shots, as well as code snippets and their analysis, will quickly have you up and running. The book is organized

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (3rd Edition)
|
|||
Background
|
if you're new to JavaScript, this is not the book for you, but once you've learned the basics (for
instance with Javascript for the World Wide Web) you'll find here an excellent an in-depth overview
of the language. The second part is a reference section covering each function, object, method, property, and event handler. For each item,
browser support is outlined and (if necessary) alternatives given. The book includes information about JavaScript 1.2, which alas means it's
time for yet another edition. But this is the one book I have about JavaScript and especially the reference section has helped with many
tricky problems.

Completely updated from the 3rd edition, this book now covers the latest version(s) of JavaScript, ECMAScript, as well as the DOM.
Every feature is clearly documented across the full range of today's browsers from Netscape Navigator 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to
Internet Explorer 3 through 5.5.
Not for absolute beginners, though if you have some programming experience with other languages, you can probably start here.

JavaScript Bible, Gold Edition
|
|||
Background |
If the ordinary bible is not enough, you might want to consider this
volume with 15 "bonus chapters", treating subjects like dynamic tables, and using JavaScript in combination with
XML. Warning: to make room for these chapters, the tutorial is no longer part of
the book; it's now to be found on the CD in PDF format, so if you're just learning JavaScript this is not the best solution. Also note that
this is a hardcover book.

JavaScript Examples Bible: The Essential Companion to Javascript Bible
|
|||
Background |
And if you still don't have enough, or just need inspiration, this Examples Bible might be
the answer. Since not all the examples could fit into the bible itself (but were relegated to the CD), here you'll find the Document Object
Model (DOM) and core JavaScript language examples sections in their entirety plus new introductory sections.
