JavaScript: The Web Technologies Series

JavaScript: The Web Technologies Series, 9780538748872 (0538748877), Course Technology PTR, 2010

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that allows Web page authors to develop interactive Web pages and sites. Although JavaScript is considered a programming language, it is also a critical part of Web page design and authoring. Th is is because the JavaScript language “lives” within a Web page’s elements. Th e language is relatively easy to learn, allowing non-programmers to quickly incorporate JavaScript functionality into a Web page. In fact, because it is used extensively in the countless Web pages that are available on the World Wide Web, JavaScript is arguably the most widely used programming language in the world.

JavaScript, Fifth Edition teaches Web page development with JavaScript for students with little programming or database experience. Although no prior programming experience is required, knowledge of HTML and Web page design is helpful, but not required. Th is book covers the basics of ECMAScript Edition 3, which is compatible with recent Web browsers including Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, along with advanced topics including object-oriented programming, the Document Object Model (DOM), and AJAX. Further, this book presents JavaScript techniques using XHTML-compatible Web pages. After you complete this course, you will be able to use JavaScript to build professional quality, dynamic Web sites.
