The Art & Science of JavaScript
We've assembled seven of the greatest minds in modern
JavaScript to teach you the most inspirational techniques
you'll ever use. From creating impressive mashups and
stunning, dynamic graphics, to more subtle user-experience
enhancements, you're about to be amazed by the true
potential of this powerful language.
With
an all star line-up of authors including James Edwards,
Michael Mahemoff, Ara Pehlivanian, Cameron Adams, Dan Webb,
Christian Heilmann, and Simon Willison, this superb book
will show you how to:
Create a slick Google Maps and Flickr mashup.
Build your own fully accessible 3D maze.
Create stunning vector graphics using the canvas element.
Have some fun with draggable and sortable table columns.
Give your site some extra personality with client-side
badges.
Write better code faster using metaprogramming techniques.
Become a debugging expert using pro-level Firebug tricks.
This book is perfect for intermediate JavaScript developers
wanting to take their JavaScript skills to the next level
without sacrificing web accessibility or best practice. If
you've never written a line of JavaScript before, this
probably isn't the right book for you.
If you have only a small amount of experience with
JavaScript, but are comfortable enough programming in
another language such as PHP or Java, you'll be just
fine-we'll hold your hand along the way, and all of the code
is available for you to download and experiment with on your
own.
