Title: Not For Beginners!
Review: I was given this book as a total beginner to JavaScript, and it was an extremely frustrating experience. The author writes in a very dry tone that will alienate those unfamiliar with programming concepts and protocol. I've looked at the JavaScript Bible in comparison, and it seems like a far superior resource for the JavaScript beginner. If you are a beginner, save yourself a great deal of frustration and look there first.
