Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Professional Guides)

Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Professional Guides), 9780764579080 (0764579088), Wrox Press, 2005

Although once supported by Netscape Enterprise Server and Active Server Pages (ASP) on the server,
JavaScript is primarily a client-side scripting language for use in Web browsers. Its main focus today is
to help developers interact with Web pages and the Web browser window itself.

JavaScript is very loosely based on Java, an object-oriented programming language popularized for use
on the Web by way of embedded applets. Although JavaScript has a similar syntax and programming
methodology, it is not a “light” version of Java. Instead, JavaScript is its own language, finding its home
in Web browsers around the world and enabling enhanced user interaction on Web sites and Web applications
alike.

In this book, JavaScript is covered from its very beginning in the earliest Netscape browsers to the
present-day incarnations flush with support for XML and Web Services. You learn how to extend the
language to suit specific needs and how to create seamless client-server communication without intermediaries
such as Java or hidden frames. In short, you learn how to apply JavaScript solutions to
business problems faced by Web developers everywhere.
