About this book

Learn the basics of JavaScript to enhance your web pages. This book focuses on modern JavaScript programming and encourages a well-organized approach to programming in general.

 

JavaScript for Web Developers explains each foundational concept of the language, followed by a practical implementation of that lesson to reinforce what you’ve learned. Author Mark Simon starts with the basics of JavaScript programming, followed by a tutorial on manipulating HTML elements. You will then learn to work with forms, along with CSS and Event Listeners. Hands-on projects will not only solidify each concept in your mind, but they will also give you greater confidence and help you absorb best practices. The book concludes with coverage of Ajax, which will enable you to send and retrieve data from a server asynchronously without interfering with the display and behavior of an existing web page.

 

After reading this book, you will be able to use JavaScript to design and program your own web applications.
