Description
JavaScript is the ubiquitous programming language of the Web, and for more than 15 years, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide has been the bible of JavaScript programmers around the world. Ideal for JavaScript developers at any level, this book is an all-new excerpt of The Definitive Guide, collecting the essential parts of that hefty volume into this slim yet dense pocket reference.
The first 9 chapters document the latest version (ECMAScript 5) of the core JavaScript language, covering:
* Types, values, and variables
* Operators, expressions, and statements
* Objects and arrays
* Functions and classes
The next 5 chapters document the fundamental APIs for using JavaScript with HTML5 and explain how to:
* Interact with web browser windows
* Script HTML documents and document elements
* Modify and apply CSS styles and classes
* Respond to user input events
* Communicate with web servers
* Store data locally on the user's computer
This book is a perfect companion to jQuery Pocket Reference.
