The Ugly JavaScript Book
If you want to learn to speak in Geek-Squeak, that is, the language of "objects", "properties", "methods" and similar C++ programming talk, you've got the wrong book.
On the other hand, if you just want to be able to do some stuff with JavaScript, this little book may help you implement the things that you want to happen at your web site.
You probably have very little time and darned little patience with documentation, if you're like me.
So there won't be any "tests" and other stuff at the end of chapters to mess with your head.
My notion about scripting is simple: I don't care a whit about the beauty of the underlying foundations. Nor how smart the folks were who crafted the language. I just want a script to do something.
How it does it is for others to marvel at. If I can make it send today's date and time to screen, for example, I'm plumb tickled.
