I asked the Information Technology Engineer at work for some help with
JavaScript. He said that he'd not actually worked much with JavaScript
(being mostly a UNIX/LINUX/Red Hat programmer) and then recommended several
books to me. I've borrowed the office copy of "
JavaScript
FOR WEB PROFESSIONALS" by
Dan Barrett,
Dan Livingstonand
Micah Brown.
My impression is that this is a very well written book with well written
examples. I found the answer to one of my questions fairly quickly (using
IF/THEN statements with document.write commands) but haven't been able
to find the answer to my other question (inputting data). This is rather
the opposite of the normal textbook in which data input commands are discussed
early and the conditional statements are relegated to the middle of the
textbook.
I think that I'm going to like this book!
