The Important Pages are Missing!
The book is a very fine work and quite definitive but the pages that deal with some basic concepts are only on the CD. The CD is protected so that you can't even print the material. You need a PC to get read this book.
Great guide for the IT professional.
I rely on it as my primary JS reference, even though I have several titles on this topic. I have been able to find more information in this book than other books I personally own. This book is well worth the money, provided you make your living as a web developer. I highly recommend the book.....
Javascript Bible is good but missing
I just bought Javascript Bible Gold Edition. I am grateful that I only paid $28.00 from Amazon. Not $69.99, no thanks. I don't buy it in a store. I buy it only at Amazon. So I notice there is something missing in the book. It only show code language. It doesn't explain clear, only brief. No pictures and no codes example. I suggest you not just buying this book. Also Dummies and other good books that go with Javascript Bible. For all javascript languages, I recommend this book.
Good reference
the Gold editon of Javascript Bible is a giant book with comprehensive reference to just about everything there is to JavaScript. I rely it as my primary JS reference, even though I have several titles on this topic, because I have been able to find more information in this book than others. Realize that a big book like this has both advantages and shortcomings.
...just Reference, reference and more reference...
Very bad book for beginners, it buys thinking it that could be my best and unique book about JavaScript, my biggest error was not to have read a little in a store. In the reader level it says: from beginning to advanced, but a principiant does not learn with one minimal introduction and more than 1000 pages of reference... it seems like a dictionary. What a mistake !
