Teach Yourself Javascript in a Week

Rating:
Summary: Good but outdated.
Review: The biggest problem with this book is that it contains a good amount of erroneous code. I did not get very far in it before I had to refer to a more authoritative text. Then I bought the more authoritative text.

The publishers of these 'Teach Yourself..' series would save us all alot of hastle if they would rigorously test all program source before they publish the book!

Review: The book reflects the JavaScript as it was first inplemented with the Netscape Navigator 2.0. If you are interested in the history of JavaScript, or willing to start from the first simple examples, buy it.

Summary: Excellent guide to Javascript
Review: This book functions as a fabulous introduction to the language of JavaScript for beginners, as well as a terrific resource and reference for those already familiar to JavaScript. I used this book all last summer at work, and the results were great! :
