Review

A natural outgrowth of Joe Burns's comprehensive tips-orientated Java Goodies and HTML Goodies Web sites, JavaScript Goodies is a delightful combination of tutorials and quick examples to help you make the most of JavaScript in your Web pages.

Burns provides a quick refresher on JavaScript scripting and the basics of the object model. But what can you actually do with JavaScript? The book illustrates how to produce effects in response to mouse events and perform image gymnastics. The presentation is so immediately rewarding that you may forget you're following a language tutorial.

This guide is packed with real-world code you can use to spice up your pages. It also covers a wide range of topics that lead to holistic JavaScript knowledge, including arrays, random number generation, timer implementations, and user-interface techniques.

Burns maintains all of the example code and assignments from the book on his site, as well as a zipped version of all the files for download. As he presents each technique, he discusses the concept, illustrates the code, and pulls it apart to show you how it works. Each discussion also includes assignments that are refreshingly fun. If dry language tutorials put you to sleep, this book will hold your attention. --Stephen W Plain
