| Object-Oriented JavaScript Book Review |
Packt Publishing's Object-Oriented JavaScript by Stoyan Stefanov gives you a very comprehensive grounding in the latest Javascript techniques. Although some basic knowledge of programming techniques would be helpful Stoyan does cover everything you need to develop complex Javascript programs. 
Being written at the end of last year means that it's up-to-date with all the latest browser versions, always a concern when developing Javascript applications because of browser compatibility issues.
Stoyan uses a very practical approach, encouraging the reader to try out all coding examples in Firefox's Firebug console. The earlier part of the book goes through the programming basics, object-oriented programming, functions, operators etc. and then moves on to particular Javascript areas i.e. the browser environment where 99% of Javascript is used. The browser enviroment is extensively covered, BOM (Browser Object Model), DOM (Document Object Model), and accessing the node tree. AJAX, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and browser events are all there, allowing a full overview of the power of Javascript. After each section are exercises that you can attempt in real time in the Firebug console. It is a book that pulls together all the various threads of Javascript Object-Oriented programming allowing you a complete understanding of the techniques used in this indispensable programming language. Get it from Packt Publishing who have a huge range of specialist IT and Technology publications. The direct link is Object-Oriented JavaScript Recommended.
