With Head First JavaScript, you learn:

• The basics of programming, from variables to types to looping

• Why you’ll never have to worry about casting, overloading, or polymorphism when you’re writing JavaScript code
• How to use the Document Object Model to change your web pages without making your users click buttons

If you’ve ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect — a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head First JavaScript is no exception. It starts where HTML and CSS leave off, and takes you through your first program into more complex programming concepts — like working directly with the web browser’s object model and writing code that works on all modern browsers.

DESCRIPTION:

The book contains complete information on Web development with a wide range of topics relating to web development frameworks and the industry’s best practices for architecture.
