JavaScript--the powerful, object-based scripting
language that can be embedded directly into HTML pages--has
earned its place in the web developer's toolkit, to the
extent that it's now considered required knowledge for web
developers. You can use JavaScript to create dynamic,
interactive applications that run completely within a web
browser. JavaScript is also the language of choice for
developing Dynamic HTML content. Because its syntax is
based on the popular programming languages C, C++, and
Java, JavaScript is familiar and easy to learn for
experienced programmers. At the same time, it's an
interpreted scripting language, providing a flexible,
forgiving programming environment for new programmers.
The JavaScript Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition provides a
complete overview of the core JavaScript language and
client-side scripting environment, as well as
quick-reference material on core and client-side objects,
methods, and properties. The new edition has been revised
to cover JavaScript 1.5, and is particularly useful for
developers working with the latest standards-compliant web
browsers, such as Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 7, and
Mozilla. Ideal as an introduction for beginners and a quick
reference for advanced developers, this pocket-sized book
is easy to take anywhere and serves as the perfect
companion volume to the bestselling JavaScript: The
Definitive Guide, 4th Edition.
O'Reilly's Pocket References have become a favorite
among developers everywhere. By providing a wealth of
important details in a concise, well-organized format,
these handy books deliver just what you need to complete
the task at hand. When you've reached a sticking point and
need to get to the answer quickly, the new JavaScript
Pocket Reference is the book you'll want close at hand.
