Man, that is one of the best books on javascript I have read! It’s been a real refreshment for me.
I also love the way Chris writes code in that kind of ‘object oriented’ way.
Not to forget a the nice introduction to the YUI-library: now I probably don’t want to use anything else anymore.
I’m looking forward to more books by Chriss, maybe on YUI?

Excellent work!

I’m still holding out hope that I’ll be able to pick this book up for my birthday this month. (The big 3-0, life will surely be over. LOL) WAS going to get it for Christmas, but that fell through when the car suddenly needed several hundred dollars in vital repairs in mid-December.

So far, everything I’ve read on it tells me this is just the kind of book I’m looking for, and I can’t wait ’til I get to sink my teeth into it. Nice to see the author visits here too. LOL Hi Chris!

Wow, didn’t expect a review to crop up here now :). Thanks for that. If you want to download the code for the book, or just have a play with it beforehand, you can get all the examples at http://beginningjavascript.com
