JavaScript is the preferred programming language for Web page applications, letting you enhance your sites with interactive, dynamic, and personalized pages. This fully updated guide shows you how to take advantage of JavaScript s client–side scripting techniques for the newest versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer, even if you ve never programmed before.

You begin with basic syntax and learn about data types and how to structure code for decision–making. Then you learn to use dates, strings, and other basic objects of JavaScript. Next, you see how to use JavaScript to manipulate objects provided by the browser, such as forms and windows. From there, you move into advanced topics like using cookies and dynamic HTML.

After you have a solid foundation, you explore dynamic generation of Web content using server–side scripting and back–end databases. And you practice what you learn by building a sample application as you go.
