The Very Best beginner's book on JavaScript, for adults (and children). Don't be fooled by the title about kids. This is solid for anyone at any age.It shows clearly how JavaScript is laid out from the ABCs of the language. I went through several books. This is the best. Most books are confusing to beginners even if you know HTML and CSS. The reason being that the writers know too much code and cannot put themselves on a pee wee level to teach it. Hence if you are not advanced somewhat, those books merely add to your confusion and lack of understanding. This starts at the very bottom.As far as this being for kids. That I think is true if such kids have programmer parents or are geniuses in their own right. Otherwise this book is really for adults who are studying JavaScript on their own and need a tutorial which begins at the very start of JavaScript development and gradually moves upwards. And yes, this is for dummies like myself who are adults.
Wow, I'd been searching for a readable JavaScript book for my daughter for years. Finally - it's here!
Our Grandson loved this as well as his father. For an 11 year old it is spot on and very age appropriate.
Excellent book! It fills in the blanks where my online college course lacks explanations. NOT overly silly or "cute", which was a concern.
Cutting edge, excellent book!
