Professional Javascript (Programmer to Programmer) [ペーパーバック]

My project is to get an Intranet/Extranet completed using either Microsoft or alternative products. I have to research and oversee (with others) implementation of both visual design and user functionality, for client (Intranet and Extranet clients) and server ends (including administrative tools).

I know the tools I "want" to use and the strategy I want to take, but I need some hard facts and intermediate to advanced descriptions of implementations.

This book has what I need.

Facts. Loads of example scripts. Analysis of using Java and Javascript. Analysis of extending application functionality through standalone script interpreters. Security issues. Client issues (for all relevant browsers) Server issues (for all relevant servers).

Awesome. Definitely the fruit of an enormous (there's that word again) amount of expertise and trial and error development.

If you have a little bit of knowledge about Web technologies (graphics, databases, servers, browsers and plug-ins), and have some familiarity with programming principles (best if you've taken a programming course or studied on your own for a few months) this book will be the glue that ties it all together for you.

Part reference guide, part bible, and all relevant.

Of course "Clib.puts()" isn't discussed on page 22. Use of the C library is discussed much later (as it should be). And as for the side effects of the Comma Operator, an example follows directly after it's mentioned!

Its clear that the reviewer hasn't read the book. I've been reading this book for the past three weeks and have discovered and learnt more than I did in the previous 2 years.

But then chapter 14 which is "Building an e-commerce shop front" goes beyond that to create a functioning online shop. It's brilliant! I have "borrowed" it for our company site.

Thanks Wrox, this book surpasses even ASP2.0 in quality and depth. Keep up the good work.
