You will learn how JavaScript is used with HTML submission forms and how JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is used for asynchronous browser-server communication. The book examples provide clear syntax-highlighted code showing how to create behaviors for an HTML document to endow components with interactive functionality, to illustrate each aspect of JavaScript.

JavaScript
I like the exercises and the fact that the chapters are not long and boring. I find JavaScript a bit challenging and I like how the author makes it interesting to learn.

It’s all in the console
If you truly love to see all the results in the console you’ve got a masterpiece. If you read the book and try the samples, you will certainly get an excellent introduction to many aspects of the JavaScript code. I guess that frontend designers will miss some practical examples, such as: how do we get results on the screen? And how can we create stunning user experiences (UX) with JavaScript? If a user clicks on my image, how can we then fire off insane animations?If you know your CSS and HTML this may seem trivial. For humans dabbling with their first experiences of interactive frontend design this book has a steep learning curve.That being said – McGrath’s “JavaScript in Easy Steps” is a very good and thorough introduction to the art of code.

Good overview.
Good intro and quick reference if you use JS only occasionally.

The book is good, Charleston book house is bad. They don’t ship latest edition as advertised.
The book is good, Charleston book house is bad. They don’t ship latest edition as advertised. I paid for last edition (2019), but shipped (2009) version. When I emailed, they said don’t have latest edition, told to live with it. Unethical business practices.

A really useful beginners book, which takes you through the stages in learning coding really well.

I already knew some Javascript coding and this work is well laid out and good for reference as well as learning the subject.

The topics are broken down into manageable pieces. It’s useful to be able to look up a particular command or code word in the index. The only problem that I found is that the book will instruct you to type some code, but doesn’t always explain exactly how to understand what that code means line-by-line. Obviously that would mean a much lengthier book in terms of pages, so on balance, it has to be concise enough to get you through a particular topic without spending too much time on any one specific thing. So for that reason, it is good as a reference to find a particular topic.

I bought this book just as I decided to learn JavaScript. It left me clueless. I then bought and studied more detailed material and got a basic understanding in how to write out and code in JS, the basics of the language, how it is used, creating functions and so on.Then going back to this book can now see its worth, it shows you how to code out many interactive things you see on websites so is a good guide, reference point for such things.It doesnt teach you in depth the fundamentals of Javascript which you need first.Furthermore, its quite basic and simplistic so you will probably need google and use other resources but a good starting point when wondering how you can do x thing on your website.

When the book says “in easy steps” I guess that depends on your level of programming (or intelligence).I got on fairly well with it but there were some bits that just left me scratching my head metaphorically speaking.Guess easy for some people isn’t easy for others, I fell into the others bracket.
