As web browsers have become more capable and standards compliant, JavaScript has grown in
prominence. JavaScript lets designers add sparkle and life to web pages, while more
complex JavaScript has led to the rise of Ajax -- the latest rage in web development that
allows developers to create powerful and more responsive applications in the browser
window.
Learning JavaScript introduces this powerful scripting language to web designers and
developers in easy-to-understand terms. Using the latest examples from modern browser
development practices, this book teaches you how to integrate the language with the
browser environment, and how to practice proper coding techniques for standards-compliant
web sites. By the end of the book, you'll be able to use all of the JavaScript language
and many of the object models provided by web browsers, and you'll even be able to create
a basic Ajax application.
