Javascript EBook

This Javascript ebook introduces basic Javascript code with working examples and applications. Some concepts of Object Oriented Programming are also discussed. You can use Javascript to enhance your web pages for example

  • control certain browser actions
  • create interactive and dynamic documents
  • read and write cookie values

and much more..

Javascript is an object oriented programming - (OOP) or scripting language that works only with your browser (i.e. the client-side). A lot of the so-called cool-stuff you see on many web pages is done with Javascript

So if you want to know more about Javascript, OOP and how to enhance your web pages, here is your chance.

This book is now available to registered members of our Joomla PHP Site.
