This book sat on my shelf for months before I finally started it. What a mistake that was! Once I began, I couldn't put it down. The chapters on javascript spoke directly to challenges I've faced in my own work with Programming.

While other books cover technical aspects, none do so with the clarity and depth this one achieves. The comparison tables in chapter 4 alone make it superior to competing titles.
