This is a dreadful book!

I had the misfortune of purchasing this textbook to refresh my JavaScript skills. Well, it's all here... the deprecated tags, the outdated syntax, and the errors... OH MY GOD!!! You will also find that the end of chapter exercises incorporate knowledge and features that were NOT EVEN COVERED in the preceding chapters!! Because I already knew JavaScript, I was able to ferret my way through this atrocious text. So it wasn't a total loss. This textbook is used at our local technical college, so I thought I was safe in purchasing it. Do NOT buy this book unless you know enough of JavaScript and HTML to make the corrections yourself. This is the second Shelly Cashman Series textbook that I've had the misfortune to purchase. From what I've seen, the Shelly Cashman Series is probably one of the worst I've ever encountered in the computer field.

Used book for a class

This book has some coding errors in it, but nothing I wasn't able to work around. If it wasn't the required book for the course I was taking I would not of bought this book. It is dated and uses HTML coding that has been deprecated and compares operating systems that are no longer suported. (Windows95/98). Find a book that is more current.

Worst Book EVER

If there was a 0 stars rating, this book would get it. How bad is it? When I sold it back to my college bookstore, I got a whopping $3! Even my crappy dreamweaver book netted me $5, but $3 isn't even enough to buy lunch. I guess it's all good, as I'd rather have my cheetos and Faygo than this book anyways. The numerous errors caused me to lose points on homework assignments, even though I did the project step by step as they are in the book. What a disgusting excuse for a text. And I've used lots of great books too, so I can tell the difference between one that has effort put into it, and one that's out of date and, for lack of a better term, a disgrace. I'm just happy I was able to buy it on the amazon marketplace instead of paying the $46 the college would have sold it to me for.
If you get a class that ever uses this book, petition your board of cirriculum directors and have it changed, this book will help you learn javascript almost as much as a lobotomy will.

The first chapter sems to be ok, but once you get to chapter 3 you'll start to get confuse. I won't recomande this book if you are new to javascript.

This book is absolutely horrible, I am also using this book as part of a college class, there are errors in both projects 1 and 2, I am SO frustrated. There errata does not address the 2nd edition. Very poorly written, I pray I can get something done before I fail this class. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
