Live, Unmoderated Customer Reviews

Here is what our customers are saying about this product.

"Too much detail and not enough useful information. The complexity of Javascript has made us all move on to Jquery which is simpler and requires less than half the coding of Javascript.
A Jquery book with everyday useful examples that can be cut, pasted, and customized would be much more useful."

John Beckman , 12 Feb 2013

"I have been looking for a good in depth book on JavaScript for a few weeks and I think that The Art & Science of JavaScript could well be it! The code examples are very well written and explained with excellent support on the website."

Mark Venn , 7 Dec 2012

"The Art & Science of JavaScript is full of excellent examples of JavaScript coding to solve common challenges. This is a great reference that provides many ideas for creative coding."

Rodney M Jones , 9 Nov 2012

"Very helpful information and awesome examples"

Kevin Casault , 17 Feb 2012

"Good book for someone trying to improve their java script skills. I am a java script novice and it is difficult to find books that can teach the more difficult coding practices."

Curtis C James , 24 Jan 2012

"Aargh! I typed the example for draggable columns only to find there where a number of errors. One or two were mine, but most were differences in the final code to the code snippets shown throughout the chapter. Thanks a lot :(

"Anyway, apart from this (huge) annoyance, it is still an interesting book."

Andrew Gibson , 23 Jan 2012

"This is a great book to help those that need more in depth instruction on JavaScript!"

"I own many sitepoint books but this one I just keep reading and re-reading. Excellently written."

Mark brown , 23 Apr 2010

"Great book. I went through the free sample a couple of weeks ago and I enjoyed every bit of. The examples are really useful.

"Gracias !!!"

Aziz Abdul , 8 Jul 2009

"I have not read the whole book -- I am reading about AJAX -- but what I did read I found both instructive and well written

"I like the idea of ebooks as they are easy to download, cheap and easily checked out"

Michael Benjamin , 25 Mar 2008

"I'm still working my way through this book, but it looks like a very useful introduction to a most important topic."

Peter Danckwerts , 19 Mar 2008

"A well presented and useful JavaScript resource. I have bought many SitePoint publications, and have not been disappointed with anything yet."

Dominic Hayes , 17 Mar 2008

"It looks great on my shelf alongside all my other sitepoint books. So far the reading has been good but as Javascript is new to me I need to work through the examples on a PC. I've rated it 8 as I can't judge it based on just the first two chapters. I'm not sure what it is but Sitepoint have got it right! I can't name another company that I would fill in a post sales review form for so willingly!"

Chris Johnson , 14 Mar 2008

"Great book. Even though I don't yet understand all of it, the examples are immediately useful for my current web-projects. I am not a "born programmer", but this book is, considering the pretty technical subject, fairly enjoyable reading. It's worth every cent I paid for it!"
