JavaScript Phrasebook

I've reviewed a few other titles in this "Phrasebook" series (just type "Phrasebook" into the search box at the top of the page). I like the concept: small, pocketbook size, relatively short.

Of course "short" usually means leaving things out. In this case, I'm impressed by how much is packed in here: this covers a lot of ground in a few hundred pages. Of course nothing is in great depth: this isn't a replacement for O'Reilly's "Javascript - the Definitive Guide". It is a nice little companion piece for it - there is some overlap, but the idea here is to present short examples to solve specific problems rather than teaching everything there is to know.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
