Learning JavaScript

Expand Post »
I have been picking up little bits of JavaScript for a while now and I can do a lot of basic scripts like disjoin (sp) rollovers and redirects and stuff. Now I want to be able to create advanced scripts like games and advanced form handling things. I find that I am much better learning things from books than online tutorials and stuff like that so can anyone recomend some good books? also could you supply the ISBN number.

Re: Learning JavaScript

JavaScript for dummies sucks. Haven't tried any others though. There are a lot of things I would learn way before JavaScript...

by R.Allen Wyke, Jason D. Giliam, and Charlton Ting

Re: Learning JavaScript

If you don't need the book to "teach" you as long as it explains everything with precision, a GREAT companion book for Sam's (which will lead you by the hand, but only goes a few steps with you) is O'Reilly's Javascript, the Definitive Guide, by Flanagan, which will allow you to explore further up each side trail Sam's shows you on your own.

Re: Learning JavaScript
You are doing the right thing. Javascript is at the heart of modern web applications. The old wimp-off-back-to-the-server-and-reserve-the-page days are over.

Watch and read everything you can find by Douglas Crockfird. Then go out and buy some books (including his own).

Re: Learning JavaScript
I think the best thing to do in your case is to work by examples...so you can have more ideas on what you can make

Re: Learning JavaScript
Whoops, typo in my post above. Douglas Crockfird should read Douglas Crockford.
