The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Instant Javascript (Hewlett-Packard Professional Books)':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Says the back jacket, "JavaScript: quick, easy and complete." JavaScript? Yes, it's about JavaScript. Quick? Yes, it starts throwing sample code and a "hello" program at you fairly early on. Easy? No. The early samples are not well designed to introduce you to the language. The authors admit that their target audience consists of experienced programmers, but then experienced programmers don't really need an introduction to a new language. Complete? Hardly. There is no mention of the fact that JavaScript is still a moving target. There is only one mention of a single difference between JavaScript for Netscape Navigator versions 2 and 3. The fact that server side JavaScript really doesn't exist yet is glossed over. Competing script languages are totally dismissed. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
