Title: Like learning through examples that don't work?
Review: While one of the cheapest JavaScript books out, you get what you pay for: irritating fonts for script examples; spacing in scripts is not consistent; script example numbering falters. Yet the most irritating aspect is about 1/3 of the example scripts--up to Chapter 7, by which time I gave up on this book--don't work with Netscape 3.0+ as advertised. If learning through flawed examples--the error messages that pop up aren't exactly helpful for novices, either--is your chosen pedagogical approach, buy this; if you think instructional texts should be well edited to be largely devoid of errors, avoid this one. Peachpit Press has assured me by private email that corrections and expansions have been made in the second edition, which is actually cheaper--curious. The above statements are purely my own.
