Murach’s JavaScript and DOM Scripting

Book Description

Want to create websites that deliver the fast response times, dynamic user interfaces, and special effects that today’s users expect?

Then this is the book for you! Whether you’re just starting out in JavaScript or whether you’re ready to move into DOM scripting, it gives you the skills you need. Here’s how:

#1: It’s 2 books in 1: A JavaScript book and a DOM scripting book
Most books cover JavaScript or DOM scripting. But to create user-responsive sites, you need to know both.

So the first half of this book is a course in JavaScript essentials. Then, the second half is a course in DOM scripting that gives you a clear understanding of how DOM scripting works, how JavaScript underlies it, and how to use it to build applications that run slide shows, use drop-down menus, rotate headlines, sort tables, provide animation, and more!

That means you can gain basic to expert skills in a single book.

#2: It provides a fast start
Section 1 is a crash course in JavaScript. In fact, by the end of chapter 3, you’ll know how to code, test, and debug applications that include elementary DOM scripting. Then, the rest of the book builds on those skills to cover all the JavaScript and DOM scripting essentials.

#3: It shows you how to create and use event-handling libraries for browser compatibility
One of the headaches of web programming is ensuring that the code will work with all the popular browsers.

So this book shows you how to create your own event-handling libraries of browser-compatible code, so you can draw on it as needed. It shows you how to take advantage of free, third-party libraries like jQuery and Dojo. And it helps you to appreciate, and profit from, the extensive libraries of tested code that are included in the downloadable applications for the book.

#4: It shows 20 complete applications that can be used as models for new apps
The key to mastering client-side web development is to have plenty of applications that show how the features interact and what problems might occur in building a website.

So this book gives you complete code for 20 professional applications. These run the gamut from business applications, like object-oriented forms validation, to entertainment apps, like a rotating, 3-dimensional carousel of images that the user can control with the mouse or keystrokes.

You can download these for free from the Murach website. Experiment with them on your own, then use them as time-saving models for new applications.

#5: The paired-pages format lets developers set their own pace
Murach books have a distinctive format. Each two-page spread presents a single topic: the lefthand page explains the topic, while the righthand page shows the critical details, using syntax, code, screen shots, and how-to notes.

Both beginning and experienced developers tell us that this format makes it easy to focus on the information they need, whether they’re using the book for training or reference. Again, you can try this out for yourself by downloading chapters 2 and 3 for free from the Murach website.

So don’t wait to become an expert web developer. Get your copy of Murach’s JavaScript and DOM Scripting today!

书名：穆拉赫的Java脚本和DOM脚本

想要创建能够提供快速响应时间、动态用户界面和特殊效果的网站，而这正是当今用户所期待的吗？

那么这本书就是给你的！无论您是刚刚开始使用JavaScript，还是已经准备好开始使用DOM脚本编程，它都为您提供了所需的技能。以下是如何：

#1：IT的两本书合一：一本JavaScript书和一本DOM脚本书
大多数书籍都介绍了Java脚本或DOM脚本。但要创建用户响应型网站，你需要了解这两个方面。

因此，本书的前半部分是一门关于JavaScript Essentials的课程。然后，第二部分是关于DOM脚本的课程，让您清楚地了解DOM脚本是如何工作的，它是如何支撑它的，以及如何使用它来构建运行幻灯片、使用下拉菜单、旋转标题、排序表格、提供动画等的应用程序！

这意味着你可以在一本书中获得基本的到专业的技能。

#2: It provides a fast start
第1节是一个关于JavaScript的速成课程。事实上，到第3章结束时，您将知道如何编写、测试和调试包含基本DOM脚本的应用程序。然后，本书的其余部分将以这些技能为基础，介绍所有的JavaScript和DOM脚本编写要领。

#3：它向您展示了如何创建和使用事件处理库以实现浏览器兼容性
Web编程的一个令人头疼的问题是确保代码可以在所有流行的浏览器上运行。

因此，这本书向您展示了如何创建您自己的浏览器兼容代码的事件处理库，以便您可以根据需要使用它。它向您展示了如何利用免费的第三方库，如jQuery和Dojo。它还可以帮助您欣赏该书的可下载应用程序中包含的大量经过测试的代码库，并从中获益。

#4：它展示了20个完整的应用程序，可以作为新应用程序的模型
掌握客户端Web开发的关键是有大量的应用程序来展示这些功能是如何交互的，以及在构建网站时可能会出现什么问题。

这本书为你提供了20个专业应用程序的完整代码。这些应用程序的范围从商业应用程序，如面向对象的表单验证，到娱乐应用程序，如旋转的三维图像旋转木马，用户可以通过鼠标或按键控制。

你可以从Murach网站上免费下载这些软件。自己尝试它们，然后将它们用作新应用程序的节省时间的模型。

#5：配对页面格式让开发人员设定自己的节奏
穆拉赫的书有一种独特的格式。每两页跨页显示一个主题：左侧页面解释主题，右侧页面使用语法、代码、屏幕截图和操作说明显示关键详细信息。

新手和有经验的开发人员都告诉我们，这种格式使他们可以很容易地专注于他们需要的信息，无论他们是将这本书用于培训还是参考。同样，你也可以通过从Murach网站免费下载第二章和第三章来亲自尝试。

所以，不要等着成为一名专业的网络开发人员。获取您的副本 Murach’s JavaScript and DOM Scripting 今天!
