About JavaScript Step by Step
This is the official site for the book JavaScript Step by Step written by Steve Suehring and published by Microsoft Press.
Updated in 2010 for the latest version of JavaScript and HTML5, JavaScript Step by Step is a book about the JavaScript programming language, with an emphasis on browser-based JavaScript. Beginners are given a clear starting point, with examples shown on how to set up a development environment in Visual Studio, Eclipse, and a plain-old text editor.
JavaScript Step by Step covers things like form validation with JavaScript, creating image swaps, the Document Object Model (DOM), and AJAX. The AJAX section of JavaScript Step by Step includes sample server-side code in PHP and .Net to help get you up and running with a web-service quickly. Additionally, the second edition includes coverage of jQuery, jQuery UI, and more.
JavaScript Step by Step is vendor-neutral, emphasizing a standards-based approach to development. Examples work in multiple browsers and JavaScript Step by Step shows how to install the Firebug add-on for Firefox in order to better debug JavaScript code.
Each chapter in JavaScript Step by Step includes exercises and the book is currently being used for programming classes.
