Special Edition Using Jscript

Rating:
Summary: Not all that useful
Review: A typical book from the "Using" series. Provides some helpful information for beginning programmers, but has an overall low content to mass ratio.

Summary: Good book for microsoft programmers
Review: This book is more focused on programming javascript for microsoft's IE. At the time of publication Netscape was still as prevalent as IE and hence (should have) made programmers decide to go with another book (to keep a cross browser focus). But now that IE has taken over (at the time of this review) this book can prove quite helpful.

I would suggest the book: Beginning JavaScript (by Paul Wilton). This has more in-depth coverage and lots of great examples to get beginners, int, and adv. users moving quick. See that review.
