This book is not about learning how to program JavaScript from scratch. It starts with the assumption that you have done some JavaScript development before and understand the JavaScript syntax. This book builds on that knowledge to give you a deeper understanding of DOM scripting and how to apply that to your projects. It uses this new understanding to describe what JavaScript libraries are and show you how they can be applied to your project. The book will also explain Ajax and how best to plan and apply it to your projects. It explains how to build simple animation objects for adding movement to elements on the page. There are straightforward examples that demonstrate the techniques used throughout the book.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJavaScript has seen a resurgence in popularity over the past few years, and with it has come an exploration of the power of the language as well as what it can do within the browser. This book will explain techniques new and old—such as closures, encapsulation, and inheritance—that many are using and how you can best apply them to your own projects.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBy reading this book, you should have a greater understanding of how JavaScript works and be able to use advanced concepts such as closures and event delegation to build more flexible applications for the Web. You'll walk away with a greater appreciation for JavaScript libraries and how they can simplify and speed up your development. You'll also be able to implement Ajax effectively into your site, create special effects, use JavaScript libraries, and know how best to apply these libraries to your projects.\u003c\/p\u003e  What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWhere CSS, HTML, and the DOM fit into modern scripting, and how to use them together effectively \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eObject-oriented programming techniques for more efficient JavaScript coding \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to use JavaScript libraries such as Prototype in your work \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to build effective form validation into your applications using Ajax \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to create mashups using APIs \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to build dynamic user interfaces \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is for beginner to intermediate developers, and already have knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.         \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe State of JavaScript \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHTML, CSS, and JavaScript \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eObject-Oriented Programming \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLibraries \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAjax and Data Exchange \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eVisual Effects \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eForm Validation and JavaScript \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCase Study: FAQ Facelift \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eA Dynamic Help System \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139378299120,"sku":"9781430202844","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430202844_p0.jpg?v=1763749718","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430202844","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
