This book explains everything you need to know about using core JavaScript. It assumes you have a general understanding of the Internet and the web and a good working knowledge of HTML. Some
programming experience with a language such as C or Visual Basic is useful, but not required.
A comprehensive online book designed to provide web developers with everything they need to know to create rich, interactive and dynamic web pages using JavaScript.
This book assumes that the reader has some experience in designing web pages using either HTML or XHTML. Experience using other programming languages is a benefit, but not a requirement.
An essential guide to JavaScript. Covers core JavaScript (all the keywords, general syntax, and utility objects like Array) separately from coverage of client-side JavaScript (which includes objects, like History and Event, that have to do with Web browsers and users’ interactions with them. This approach makes this book useful to people using JavaScript for applications other than Web pages.
This book covers the basics of JavaScript with an overview of JavaScript, core language features: values, variables, and
literals, expressions and operators, regular expressions, statements, functions, working with objects, and details of the object
model. It also offers some unique content by including LiveConnect technology that lets Java and JavaScript code
communicate with each other (this chapter assumes you are familiar with Java programming).
Another old book that covers the basics and is relevant today. This book is divided into three parts. The first part
gives a quick introduction to JavaScript, explains what JavaScript is good for, outlines what you can do with it,
says what makes a good Web page and what makes a bad Web page, and what you can do to keep your pages on the good list.
The second section introduces a problem, demonstrates how you might solve it without JavaScript, and then shows how you can
craft a much better solution with JavaScript. It also has thoughts on how you can enhance the solution and how you can adapt
the techniques to creating your own Web pages with JavaScript. In every chapter, the JavaScript code is discussed in depth,
function by function.
The third section contains appendices, full of useful reference material: the character set, reserved words, a review of
HTML, the JavaScript operators, JavaScript's built-in objects and functions, and online resources.
Another old book that is still relevant for teaching the basics. This one is structured with a 7-day course and guides you through
building your own working scripts.
Takes you step by step through the fundamentals of Javascript. You will learn how to write functions, use data from
text boxes, create IF-THEN conditionals, program loops, and generally make your web page “smarter.” Assumes that you have no prior programming experience, but that you have created your own HTML pages.
Written by someone who teaches computer classes for a living to corporate clients of all levels.
These pattern are the building blocks of Ajax applications. They are more “reference patterns” than true “design patterns,” at least from the perspective of a modern Ajax developer, who will take these technologies as a given. The patterns are included to introduce the types of technologies that are used, provide a common vocabulary used throughout the language, and facilitate a discussion of pros and cons.
This is an easy-to-understand tutorial on both scripting basics and JavaScript.
