Interactive Front-End Web Development
This full-color book will show you how to make your websites more interactive and your interfaces more interesting and intuitive.

As with our first book (the best-selling HTML & CSS: Design and Build Websites), each chapter…
The Good Parts
Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but it has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JS that’s more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole—a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code. Considered the expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JS an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables. When Java applets failed, JS became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language….
