Learn JavaScript From Scratch with SitePoint's "Simply JavaScript"

September 21, 2007; 08:24 AM

(PRWEB) September 21, 2007 -- In 2001 Kevin Yank brought PHP and MySQL into the lives of tens of thousands of developers with his definitive book, Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL.

Now, with co-author and JavaScript guru Cameron Adams, Kevin's doing the same for JavaScript with the official release of Simply JavaScript from SitePoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/).

Beautifully presented in full color, Simply JavaScript not only teaches JavaScript with unprecedented clarity, it does so with a sense of humor -- it's guaranteed to keep you entertained.

Perfect for first-time JavaScript coders or individuals looking to improve their programming skills, Kevin and Cameron will guide you through the JavaScript programming basics, as well as provide practical solutions to real-world problems.

Simply JavaScript will teach you how to:

• Use JavaScript's built-in functions, methods, and properties.
• Change the content of web pages using the DOM.
• Use JavaScript to respond to user actions.
• Create animations that bring a web site to life.
• Build forms that validate entries and interact with users.
• Build a richer user experience with Ajax.
• Explore the amazing things that JavaScript makes possible.

Simply JavaScript co-author and SitePoint technical director Kevin Yank is extremely proud of his new book: "We knew from the beginning that it wasn't worth writing another beginner's JavaScript book unless we could produce something really special, and we definitely have."
