Object-Oriented JavaScript
Once listed in the “nice to have” sections of job postings, these days the knowledge of JavaScript is a deciding factor when it comes to hiring web developers. And rightly so. Where in the past we used to have the occasional few lines of JavaScript embedded in a web page, now we have advanced libraries and extensible architectures, powering the “fat-client”, AJAX-type rich internet applications.
JavaScript is the language of the browser, but it’s also heavily employed in many other environments: server-side programming, desktop applications, application extensions and widgets. It’s a pretty good deal: you learn one language and then code all kinds of different applications. While this book has one chapter specifically dedicated to the web browser environment including DOM, events, and AJAX tutorials, the rest is applicable to all the other environments too.
