Title: The one book to have if you want to learn JavaScript
Product review: When I was first learning JavaScript a year or so ago, I bought a couple of different books, all of which wasted half their space explaining HTML and the world wide web. Then the things they explained about JavaScript were either cryptic, badly written, or just plain wrong.Then, thankfully, the third time was the charm. I had bought the 2nd edition of this book, and it was everything I could have hoped for. The 3rd edition has only improved on the previous one.Now I can look up any element of JavaScript and know which browsers it will and won't work with. I get lots of concrete examples that I can take, combine, mutate, and play around with until I get what I'm looking for in my scripts. And any time I need to double-check how something works, it's a quick page flip away.If you only have the money to buy one book about this language, and you're not already a heavy-duty programmer, then buy this book! It's worth every penny.
