JavaScript - I Need A Good Book.
So I am looking for a book that basically goes from the very basics to middle level of java programing, but one that is up to date, and that explains everything, not like some of the books that just throws code at you and expects you to understand why you are making the class public and why it extends javaplugins, just something in depth that really explains why for everything.
Similar TutorialsHi there i wanted some sugessions on good books out there for AJAX as a whole for beginners familiar in programming. I donot know java scripting. Should i learn that before AJAX? Please suggest good books for both
Would like to start learning JavaScript and would appreciate any books based on JavaScript that forum members would care to recommend. Thanks all
Hi, I have a very old book on JavaScript, and just wondering if it would be wise to start from it. The book is: SAMS Teach yourself JavaScript in 24 hours - Second Edition (covers JavaScript 1.5) Let me know guys because I can get cracking on with it if so! What I need to know is whether or not JS has been updated since? Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a great javascript book to buy. I am looking for something super duper hard core. I would love it to have documentation galore that includes all of the AJAX and DOM and XML. You know... like a javascript BIBLE. Something thick and comforting. Something that makes you feel all warm and toasty inside just knowing that it is there. So if I start running into some problem I can just glance at the book and rest assured that if the problem exculates not to fear. I have .... THE BOOK. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Michael Hi, I'm looking for a coloring book script and ... I'm trying to understand, how does it work: http://www.coloringpageskids.org/onl...ls-butterfly,5 It's HTML5, JavaScript or something else? AMAZON has some nice future for book preview and they can display book cover/back like real book. For instance Rational Astrology: as a physical model (Chinese Edition): Julian J.-L. Ting: 9781493734559: Amazon.com: Books Presumably that is done by javascript? Is there any free code available for doing such business? I am studying Javascript from the Headfirstlabs book. Please see my coding below as per the instructions on page 26, the only thing that happens is the onload alert [Hello, I am your per rock] when the page loads, nothing else and no touchrock function or smiling face, I have the images where they should be. Can anyone tell me why it's not working on my end please? Code: <html>
<head>
<title>irock -The virtual Pet Rock</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function touchrock () {
var username = prompt ("What is your name?", "Enter your name here.");
if (username) {
alert ("It is good to meet you, " + username + ".");
document.getElementByID ("rockImg").src = "rock_happy.png";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="alert ('Hello, I am your pet rock.');">
<div style="margin-top: 100px; text-align: center;">
<img id="rockIMG" src="rock.png" alt="irock" />
</div>
</body> </html> I have come to the conclusion that this book title sux "New Perspectives on JavaScript, 2nd Edition " Is there a better book I can use where I can copy the sample programs that the book uses, that actually has good modern javascript technique, and has the other code that goes along with it like the html, the css, and the .jpgs all on the cd that comes with the book or something? "Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)" by Nicholas C. Zakas is a good book title it definitely clarified that crappy text book that my university gave me, but I'm ready to take the next step and start using sample code and apply the concepts I learned from that book. Please recommend anything I would need to be ubber programmers like all of you guys.
I use a bookmarklet that looks like this: Code: try{
sl_el_wrapper.go();
}
catch(e){
var%20s=document.createElement('script');
s.id='sl_el_BMSCRIPT';
s.type='text/javascript';
document.body.appendChild(s);
s.src='http://EXAMPLE.com/marklet.js.php?v='+(new%20Date().getTime());
}
void(0);
This was all on one line, but I added a return after each ;. I want to make this a function so I can click a button on my page and have it run. I've tried a lot of things but cant seem to make it work. Any thoughts? I have to take more javascript programming classes and I'm really not good at it. I desperately need help. I own Visual Basic, but it's a little difficult to use. What is the best book, online resource, and software for programming in javascript?
I typed this code straight out of the book and it just doesn't seem to work. I have the headlines on the left side and when clicked the contents of the headline is supposed to show up in the text box on the right. Well, needless to say, nothing appears. Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am not the only person in the class having this issue. Thanks a million.

My problem: I am building a website for my fire department that i am a member. here is what i have www. explosive supplements .com(header picture is a mockup, being worked on by a graphic artist) (spaced out for privacy, this domain is my testing website that i used to test my programming prototypes live without taking other sites offline.) My main issue is IE7 and IE8 in compatibility mode My Solution: I need to make a popup/warning to tell those running IE7 to update their browser to view the website and a popup/warning to tell those who are running compatibility mode in IE8 to turn it off to view the webpage properly. i thought about making a seperate template for IE7, but that still doesnt help with those running compatibility mode in IE8. Thanks for any help that you can give. Today, all major cell phone makers (exept apple) announced that they will support a common app standard based on html, css, and javascript. Article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100215...owapplications This means that we can use our web skills to make applications for mobile phones. Previously, we would have to invest learning time into a closed-path system like the iPhone's Objective-C, or a minor player's API like webOS. Called BONDI, it's basically a webpage with some extra generic DOM handles for using system features like fetching contact lists, GPS, sending SMSs, playing a sound, etc. While I am not blown away by the demo widgets linked below, i realize they are little more than "hello world", as much actually as figuratively. I expect support and development to entrench around this simple standard, so more and more hardware features will gradually start working on more and more devices. It's the same notion as the JS/HTML software i wrote years ago for firefox that now works in IE8... Check it out: http://bondi.omtp.org/usebondi/Lists...Y/Gallery.aspx I encourage all to participate in developing for open source platforms like BONDI. While there's more money right now in iPhone, the future belongs to us. Don't support proprietary techs! Besides, i cannot imagine that Apple/some fan boy will not eventually add BONDI support to iPhones; they already have a browser! I am looking to add the load date by scrolling paginating but i am not sure if this will cause the site to dramatically load slower. http://www.9lessons.info/2009/07/loa...query-php.html That is what i was going to implement but unsure if i should. Any of you guys got any knowledge in this? Thanks I just started learning javascript, and it'd be cool if I could find some kind of javascript reference site similar to php.net/manual with a quick reference search. After looking through google for a long while, all I could find was tutorial sites or reference books with the only way to navigate them is through boring tables of contents. Does such a place exist? Or what's the next best thing?
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, just registered today. And I'm wondering whats the best javascript editor out there? I'm going to school for web development and I'm taking a javascript class next semester, the problem is the class is online so i have to teach myself. I have previous coding experience with html, css, actionscript 2 and coldfusion. I want to know whats the best editor out there is? I have used Dreamweaver for my previous coding and i don't like it. It feels to bloated and has way to much stuff i never use. Anyone want to share what they use? Make me a recommendation, it doesn't matter weather its for mac or pc. I have a macbook pro i use for school and i already have a a copy of adobe creative suite 5 for mac and Visual studio 2010 for windows. Anyone ever use visual studio for web development? I would really appreciate any help you can give me. Anyway thanks for reading my long post, and any advice is really appreciated. Thank You, Emiljan Can anybody recommend a good free uploader that allows multiple file selection at the same time? Any help appreciated! Hello, I am trying to understand something I often see in other's code: Code: (function(){
//do something
})();
a) Why is the function wrapped into parenthesis? b) Why are there parenthesis at the very end of the snippet? A variant that is also mysterious to me is: Code: (function(){
//do something
})(document.documentElement);
Why the document.documentElement in parenthesis? Regards, -jj. This is my first post. I am reading "Javascript The Good Parts" ~ The Method Invocation Pattern Page 28 and tried this, var myObject= { value:0, increment:function(inc){ this.value+= typeof inc==="number" ? inc:1; } } myObject.increment(2); alert(myObject.value); but alert(myObject.value); is returning a value of "2", when it should return "3". Can someone help?
