You can read other JavaScript books from start to finish and still not know how to develop dynamic websites like you want to. That's because it's DOM scripting that lets you do things like run slide shows, handle image rollovers, rotate headlines, provide animation, and more. And it's a subject that's glossed over or ignored in most other books.
But now, you can go from JavaScript beginner to DOM scripting expert in a single book! Fast-paced, professional, and packed with expert practices, our new JavaScript book guides you through each step as you learn how to program sites that enhance the user experience and ensure browser compatibility.
Ray Harris is an expert JavaScript programmer. That will be obvious to you as soon as you review the 20 complete applications that he presents in this book.
Ray Harris is much more than a JavaScript programmer. He has a Master's degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. He worked on advanced research projects at the Air Force Research Lab while he was in the USAF. He taught information security and web development at the College of Technology in Raleigh, North Carolina. In fact, Ray has been programming and teaching since he was 12 years old.
So when Ray said he wanted to write for us, it didn't take us long to hire him. Not only did he have the technical skills that we were looking for, but his previous writings showed that he had an uncommon ability to think, write, and teach.
Due to our unique presentation methods and this book's modular organization, this is the right book for any web developer who wants to use JavaScript effectively.
