Web Developer.com(r) Guide to Building Intelligent Web Sites with JavaScript |
A quick, easy guide to building cutting-edge intelligence into your website Without "smart," interactive content, your website just won't cut it with today's savvy Web surfers. Fortunately, with JavaScript, it's now incredibly easy to build intelligent sites, and this book shows you how. Featuring a rapid skill-building format, this book is organized around goals you want to accomplish with JavaScript rather than the language's technical aspects. Even if you've never programmed a line of code in your life, you'll quickly learn how to enliven your site with the smarts it needs to automatically tailor its content to an individual user's needs, solve problems, make decisions, create new pages on the fly, and even close sales! Nigel Ford eases you into the basics of JavaScript and then, with the help of dozens of vivid examples, teaches you: Basic and advanced techniques for adding intelligence to your Web pages How to store different types of knowledge in your Web pages Techniques for handling requests, accessing files, and using databases in server-side JavaScript Programming for language processing, searching, problem solving, and game playing How to program for both the client side and server side with JavaScript.

| Very helpful | Rating: | | I read this awhile ago and am just going through a bunch of old books I have around still that I read and reviewing them :) This was I believe my very first 'programming' book I ever read and it brings back fond memories. This book will teach you things like what a variable is and a function...basic stuff but years later it is still helpful! I'd highly recommend it as javaScript hasn't even changed that much since this book was published I even reread it. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2007-03-06 | | | | AI via JavaScript! | Rating: | | This is a neat book. First, it is one of the best intros with useful examples. Part way through, Mr. Ford starts to show us 'Intelligent' apps like simple rule-based expert systems, search, and problem-solving. You can start the book knowing nothing about JS, and end up doing some quite sophisticated programming when you finish the book. I looked at 10-15 books, and bought this one... it works! LISP and Prolog hackers take a look! | | Total Votes: 8, Helpful Votes: 8, Date: 1999-11-18 | | | | Useful introduction to JavaScript and programming techniques | Rating:  | | Ford begins with useful code samples to illustrate the basic grammar and syntax of JavaScript. In the second half of the book he provides an interesting introduction to programming techniques that could be adopted for use in any language. I teach a JavaScript course and this will be the text. | | Total Votes: 8, Helpful Votes: 8, Date: 1998-07-09 | | | | Excellent into to JavaScript | Rating: | | Very good book as in introduction to JavaScript. Clear and concise descriptions and examples, that actually work! This isn't a good book for the experienced programmer looking for a desk reference (though it's not too bad in that regards), but is a great book for someone wanting to get started with JavaScript. | | Total Votes: 15, Helpful Votes: 15, Date: 1998-04-24 | | |
