Description: I haven't looked at many beginners JavaScript books for awhile until this one. I found out on a Thursday that it would be the text book for a class I was to begin teaching on the following Tuesday. Previously I had recommended "Teach Yourself JavaScript 1.3 in 24 Hours" by Michael Moncur to get through the doorway and start using JavaScript. While that's still a fine book, I have to say that I'm really impressed with this one and Pollock's expertise of the subject. This book takes the reader by the hand and speaks in a very mentoring tone. The text asks the right questions to help seal in the knowledge and offers intermediate steps should one like to take them. This is a great book to start off with, and absent the JavaScript Bible by Danny Goodman, it makes a fairly decent reference guide.
