DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model

Paperback

Some very useful nuggets with some caveats

The book presents an excellent overview of DOM scripting for those who are unfamiliar with the topic. If you have read other books that cover the subject, though, you will only find a few additional useful peices of information not found elsewhere (e.g., writing code that degrades gracefully is *excellent* in this book).

I did have some problems with the book though. As at least one other reader mentioned, the book is *extremely* repetitive; to the point where I was utterly frustrated with an otherwise well written book. Also, this book is most definitely for beginners. As I mentioned, if you have some DOM experience you won't find this book as useful as someone without any such experience.

Overall, I feel the few useful nuggets I took away were useful but probably not worth the full price of the book. A different but excellent choice might be "DHTML Utopia - Modern Web Design Using Javascript and DOM" by Stuart Langridge. It covers the DOM as well as other very useful javascript technologies.

Extremely repetitive

I enjoyed this book. It was a very easy read and it introduced me to the subject. That said, the book should have been about 1/4 of the size it is. It is the most repetitive thing I have ever read; sometimes frustratingly so.

It should also be noted that this book is definitely for beginners.

Simply the Best!

I've been looking awhile now for a book or a resource that can teach me what is good and the best practices of web design... and I found it in this book!. Great author, although with some errors (but is is corrected in the books website). Nice job !
