Ellie Quigley's JavaScript by Example is singularly well suited for students of all kinds who wish to master JavaScript, including: first-time programmers; Web designers delivering dynamic content; experienced scripters moving from languages such as Perl; and system administrators working with browser-based administration tools that utilize JavaScript. Quigley utilizes the same proven approach that have made her books on Unix/Linux shell programming and Perl scripting favorites amongst students worldwide. She has carefully created a technically strong learning path interlaced with hundreds of small examples that demonstrate JavaScripts wide range of practical applications. This book strikes a perfect balance: serious, yet exceptionally accessible. One step at a time, it guides JavaScript beginners through every essential JavaScript concept and programming technique, including script setup, data types, variables, dialog boxes, operators, control structures, functions, and JavaScript objects. By the time students reach the end of the book, they will be creating remarkably sophisticated programs based on DOM and CSS.
