JavaScript Objects Book

As a browser-based scripting language Javascript rules supreme, allowing programmers and page designers to add new levels of ineractivity to their sites through the introduction of short programming scripts. But anyone who has rejected the language as being of little use for anything more serious should take time out to read this technical yet eye-opening examination of the latest version of the language. Designed with Microsoft's Internet Explorer in mind (Netscape users beware, the majority of the code will not work with your browser), authors Alexander Nakhimovsky and Tom Myers present a very different view of matters, opening up the chest cavity to get right into the heart of Javascript using objects and Object-oriented techniques to show just how powerful it can be. Starting with a short, yet very useful, reference of the basics, Javascript Objects soon launches into the good stuff, presenting examples and insights into a broad range of subjects ranging from use of regular expressions through to advanced text handling and database interrogation techniques.
