This is a new kind of JavaScript book. It's not cut'n'paste, it's
not a reference, and it's not an exhaustive investigation of the
JavaScript language. It is about client-side, web focused, and
task-oriented JavaScript. JavaScript is a core skill for web
professionals, and as every web professional knows, client-side
JavaScript can produce all sorts of glitches and bugs. 'Practical
JavaScript for the Usable Web' takes a two pronged approach to
learning the JavaScript that you need to get your work done:
teaching the core client-side JavaScript that you need to
incorporate usable interactivity into your web applications,
including many short functional scripts, and building up a complete
application with shopping cart functionality. When you have
finished working with this book, you'll have a thorough grounding
in Client-side JavaScript, and be able to construct your own
client-side functionality quickly, easily, and without falling into
any of the usability traps that this technology leaves wide open.
