BeginningJavaScript.com – Get the code and information about ‘Beginning JavaScript with DOM Scripting and Ajax’

Monday, June 26th, 2006 at 10:58 pm

I am proud to announce that my book has been shipped out the printers and will be available soon-ish in the shops or arrive at your places when you pre-ordered it.

Cover of Beginning JavaScript with DOM Scripting and Ajax

I used the better part of my freetime (that is normally spent on personal grooming) of the last 7 months writing it on my trusty T42 IBM laptop on the tube to work, in restaurants, cafes and other people’s houses.

The outcome is pretty impressive though:

  • Over 500 pages of text
  • 207 HTML examples
  • 104 JavaScript files
  • 14 PHP files
  • 55 CSS files
  • About 30 bad illustrations

You can get all the information about it and download or check out the code examples at http://www.beginningjavascript.com

I hope I succeeded in delivering a book that will help beginners get the basics of JavaScript and will also help seasoned developers to brush up on old practices.

Anyways, the next one is in the making…
