DESCRIPTION:
"Learn some cool techniques" according to Michael Bodily. Like a lot of the other reviewers, I found the first few chapters the most helpful. If you are willing to completely ignore non-DOM compliant browsers (which we should all be migrating to anyway) then there are some cool techniques that you can learn here.The only bit I don't like about this book is that you often get yourself into something without really learning much about it. If you've never been exposed to regular expressions before, then you might find it difficult to adapt his cool rollover techniques to other uses for example using regular expressions to dynamically change the cla. Jon Hanlon said Avoid this like the plague. This is without doubt the worst book on DHTML/Javascript that I've ever read. The author tries to be cute, funny and authorative but ends up just plain painful. The examples are over-long and artificial, and would be difficult to incorporate into a real world application. The author peppers the book with snazzy shots like "It's the modern way!" but rarely explains the benefits of the methodology he's pushing, and glosses over any shortcomings.For instance, in discussing regular expressions he provides a simple expression for a telephone number, then points out that it's seriously flawed. . Advanced, but terse There is some great cutting edge stuff in here. If you know what you are doing already and want to get a jump start into Ajax then this is a good book for you. My problem with it is that the text relies too heavily on the code to convey the message. Which means that the book is better for advanced readers. I also would have appreciated some more emphasis on what works cross browser and how to handle older browsers.
