Professional JavaScript for Web Developers

Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, 9781118026694 (1118026691), Wrox Press, 2012

SOME CLAIM THAT JAVASCRIPT is now the most popular programming language in the world, running any number of complex web applications that the world relies on to do business, make purchases, manage processes, and more.

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 dynamic language, fi nding 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 fl ush with support for the DOM and Ajax. You learn how to extend the language to suit specifi c 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.

The Algorithm Design Manual

Springer, 1998

Most of the professional programmers that I've encountered are not well prepared to tackle algorithm
design problems. This is a pity, because the techniques of algorithm design form one of the core practical
technologies of computer science. Designing correct, efficient, and implementable algorithms for realworld
problems is a tricky...
