Professional JavaScript for Web Developers

Three years after the first edition of this book was released, there have been several advances in the techniques and technology of JavaScript in the browser. This Second Edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest versions of all web browsers. The book also introduces newer techniques and related technologies such as canvas, E4X, and JavaScript 2.0. Setting the stage by covering JavaScript in HTML, the book then explores the core of JavaScript, ECMAScript, to give you an understanding of the language's basic syntax, data types, statements, and memory management.
