The concise and digestible get-started guide to jаvascript programming.

jаvascript Essentials For Dummies is your quick reference to all the core concepts about jаvascript—the dynamic scripting language that is often the final step in creating powerful websites. This no-nonsense book gets right to the point, eliminating review material, wordy explanations, and fluff. Find out all you need to know about the foundations of jаvascript, swiftly and crystal clear. Perfect for a brush-up on the basics or as an everyday desk reference on the job, this is the reliable little book you can always turn to for answers.

What’s the difference between a page that does nothing and a page that seems to be always dancing? One word: jаvascript. If you want your pages to be dynamic and interactive, you need a bit of behind-the-scenes jаvascript to make it so. “But,” I hear you object, “HTML isn’t that hard to learn. jаvascript is a programming language, for crying out loud!” I hear you. It’s true that anyone can learn HTML as long as they start with the basic tags, examine lots of examples of how they work, and slowly work their way up to more complex pages. It’s just a matter of creating a solid foundation and then building on it.

I’m convinced that jаvascript can be approached in much the same way. I’m certainly not going to tell you that jаvascript is as easy to learn as HTML. That would be a bald-faced lie. However, I will tell you that there is nothing inherently difficult about jаvascript. I believe that if you begin with the basic syntax and rules, study tons of examples to learn how they work, and then slowly build up to more complex scripts, you can learn jаvascript programming. I predict here and now that by the time you finish this book, you’ll even be a little bit amazed at yourself and at what you can do.
