Mastering JavaScript Premium Edition

JavaScript is the most widely used scripting language for the Web and continues to grow in popularity. With this Premium Edition of Mastering JavaScript and its companion CD, savvy HTML users can learn to write JavaScript programs that will make their Web sites come alive! This is the most comprehensive tutorial and reference available, with information on both Netscape and Microsoft's enhancements of JavaScript. The book starts with everything beginners need to know and then moves on to more advanced topics, such as scripting ActiveX components, working with plug-ins, building multimedia applications, and interfacing with CGI programs. The author is a well-known Internet programming expert and has led the development of secure networks for the Department of Defense.

Mastering JavaScript serves both as a tutorial that will introduce you to JavaScript and as a resource that demonstrates how to use JavaScript in a variety of practical applications. With so many books about JavaScript available, what distinguishes Mastering JavaScript is primarily its scope. It covers not just language fundamentals but advanced topics such as using JavaScript to invoke Java methods or manipulate the behavior of Netscape plug-ins; taking advantage of JavaScript 1.2 capabilities introduced in Netscape Communicator and Navigator 4.0, including the ability to manipulate overlapping layers of content and to specify JavaScript-accessible style sheets; and using server-side JavaScript and interfacing JavaScript with CGI. James Jaworski writes more for moderately experienced programmers than for HTML coders who want to expand their skills, but his writing is clear and enjoyable.
