Great book & 2 CD package

Excellent book, and includes 120 day trial version of SQL Server 2000, a cd containing simulated electronic tests similiar to actual microsoft exams. Well worth the money. Nice one Microsoft Press.

Put simply OReillys Javascript book is The Bible

I bought this book two years ago because I was thinking of getting into the web development business. This is one of the most useful computer related books I have ever bought and now sits on my shelf looking battered and pawed, the way a good reference book should look! Flanagan takes the reader from basic skills to more complicated stuff like building Crossbrowser Sniffers. All of the examples in the book are of practical use and I found them useful building blocks to many of the early projects I have worked on. The command reference is extremely thorough , and well documented. This is the only Javascript book you will ever need, and once your copy becomes battered and pawed like mine, the chances are you will have become an expert Javascript programmer. Go buy this book!

I loved this book

Having spent 6 months working on JavaScript, I found this to be the best book I read on the language, even better than Goodmans "JavaScript Bible". Perhaps my previous knowledge of Java helped, and certainly this author approaches JavaScript from a Java programmer’s perspective, even drawing comparisons. The best chapter is on the objects in JavaScript, especially pointing out that JavaScript is a prototype object orientated language, unlike many languages that are class object orientated ... an important distinction. The reference section at the end separates the W3Cs DOM from the object models used in the browsers. For W3Cs purist this will be just right. For less idealistic programmers this may be a bit of an annoyance. This isnt quite a beginners guide; rather moderately experienced programmers coming from other languages will probably benefit more from this book. Still, this is easily one of the best programming books Ive ever read.
