JavaScript: quick, easy and complete.

Take the shortcut to more interactive Web sites!

JavaScript is the easiest way to deliver sophisticated interactivity to Web sites. If you're a Webmaster, Internet/Intranet developer, or a programmer, it belongs in your arsenal. Instant JavaScript tells you all you'll need to know―even critical details about server-side JavaScript programming that are virtually impossible to find elsewhere.

With this book's clear, “learn-by-example” guidance―and all of the examples included on CD-ROM―you'll start developing live, interactive JavaScript applications almost immediately. Instant JavaScript covers all the fundamentals, including JavaScript objects, methods, properties, and server-side language components. By the time you've finished, you'll know how to develop even highly sophisticated applications.

Refer to this book for all the nitty-gritty details you can't find in Netscape's documentation, like. . .

• The advantages to using JavaScript over CGI, ActiveX or something else instead
• Dividing tasks between server and client
• The best ways to combine JavaScript with SQL to access existing data
• How JavaScript interacts with compatible browsers
• Installing JavaScript applications on your Web server

And if you're already familiar with C, C++, Java―or even HTML―this book will help you leverage the skills you already have.

There's no better way to jazz up your Web site than JavaScript, and there's no better way to learn JavaScript than Instant JavaScript.
