Summary: A great JavaScript intro for experienced programmers.
Comment: With many years of programming experience in VB, I needed a simple discussion of the basic syntax of JavaScript, and I needed it fast. This book hit the spot. There are errors in the sample code, as there are in every IT book I've ever read (including a few rare errors in the Wrox books!). This one is not too bad on that account. The text is tight and readable, and the examples clear and fairly well focused. It naturally lacks the depth required to build complex JavaScript applications, but that's not its goal.
If you already understand programming structures, and just need to learn how JavaScript goes about it, this is the perfect book. If you're just starting out, this book will get you started on the right foot, but you'll need more than 24 hours to master the art of programming. I was actually pleased with the author's restraint in limiting the discussion and examples to essentials. By avoiding the temptation to include "cool tricks" in the examples, the focus on core concepts is strengthened. This is a well done book for its declared purpose.

Summary: Not many good points.
Comment: Or should i say that there are many bad points.
1. Not a great place for beginers.
2. Not a great place for advanced users (or those with moderate javascript knowledge).
I've had this book, as well as 2 others. This one is on the shelf and the other 2 are open on my desk. That should be enough to tell you something about it.
The whole idea that you'll learn the language in 24 "classes" of 1 hour is dumb. But they have a "line" of books they want to sell, so that's what they need to do.

Summary: Newbie-it helped
Comment: Its not the greatest book, but i'm a newbie so what do i know? They assume you know something about programming, or atleast they don't go indepth into some of the basic programming ideas.
It wasn't a total waste i still got alot out of it, but i hope to find a better book
