Summary: Sloppy and unorganized
Comment: The book gives a narrow introduction on JavaScript for an intermediate programmer, so it is cutting corners. Many of them, nuf said!
Customer Rating: 5
Summary: Very good but not for the absolute beginner
Comment: This is the perfect book if you want to refresh the Javascript you learned some time ago, or if you've gone through some on line tutorials and would like to get the whole picture.
It's less than 400 pages, but packed with information. Very clearly written and easy to read. It explains a concept and shows you examples, pointing out where you could make mistakes and giving advice for best practice. For an absolute beginner though, I think it would be a bit too fast-paced - if this is your case try Paul Wilton's other book.

Summary: Great read
Comment: Fresh and enjoyable read. This book is a great companion to a solid Javascript reference after you have dabbled in some Client side scripting.
