Part tutorial and part reference, this book not only helps you develop new JavaScript skills by building on your basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and the Web in general, it also serves as a detailed reference for the more experienced web developers among you. Furthermore, the fifth edition now includes advanced material on the latest developer topics, such as scripting Flash with JavaScript, HTTP and Ajax, DOM, SVG, XML, web services, and remote scripting.
Like all O'Reilly Definitive Guides, this book provides the most comprehensive reference section on the market, documenting every object, property, method, even handler, function and constructor used by client-side JavaScript.
The new edition has also been revamped to cover the latest browsers, language updates, extensions, and JavaScript standards. No wonder it's the top-selling JavaScript book of all time. No other book comes close.
