JavaScript and Ajax for Dummies
Author(s): Richard Wagner
Assuming no prior JavaScript experience, this book shows beginning users how to add JavaScript to their Web development toolbox, including how to design an interface and animations with JavaScript. This hands-on reference walks readers through JavaScript, the popular programming language that uses scripts to create elements such as window pop-ups, Web form validation, and image changes on mouseover. It provides a new approach that also covers how JavaScript works in the Web 2.0 world with the Ajax programming method, new JavaScript strategies (scripting forms, designing an interface, and managing cookies), and more.
