 With a little help this book isn't so bad. September 7, 2000

I admit, when first attempting to use this book, I thought it could be a lost cause. I actually fired off a fuming e-mail to the publisher. Surprisingly they were very helpful and pointed me to the Web site that the book refers to. The Web site has a list of corrections to the errors in the book as well as a lot of resources outside of the book that have helped me learn JavaScript. Apparently there is a 2nd edition of this book that is published which some of the students at my school have purchased and have had no problems with it whatsoever. I like the way this book is laid out and it is easy to follow. I just had to get myself over the hump and get some help from the publisher.
 A good book but not the best October 9, 2000

I like this series of books from Course.com. Because there is a lot of exercises for us to practise. Just reading is not enough especially in your work. After some practise, you can strength your skills and have confidence to tell everyone you have experience on JavaScript. A easy reading book for beginner. But it is not the best. I prefer to Javascript For the World Widw Web. And use this one as practise.

I have been working with this book for several weeks now...sorry to say the title is very misleading. "Complete"? Maybe in concept only! The Shelly Cashman Series is usually very good, but the proofreaders were WAY overworked with this one. There are several errors in the tutorials that make it VERY frustrating to use if you are just learning JavaScript. I find the code testy enough without sloppy work on the writer/editors/proof-reader/publishers 's part. I have spent HOURS to get the tutorials to work, in some cases just having to cut bait. Folks at the publishers, take this one home and try it out. I'm tempted to send you back my corrected book with the multiple errors that I have found. Fix the mistakes and try it again. Gentle readers, this one is ONE TO AVOID.

This book has some coding errors in it, but nothing I wasn't able to work around. If it wasn't the required book for the course I was taking I would not of bought this book. It is dated and uses HTML coding that has been deprecated and compares operating systems that are no longer suported. (Windows95/98). Find a book that is more current.
 Errors, errors everywhere..... August 10, 2000

I can usually forgive a few typos in any text, but this one not only has bad indexing, the code they have doesn't even work. Further, the authors are completely MSIE specific and don't bother to mention this minor detail. Save your money. This book is a complete waste of time.
