You people are all raising stink about this book and I wanna tell you you're very wrong about that. It's a beginning book, very reasonably priced, and, what you not one of you noticed, very nicely printed! O'Reilly books don't even have any screenshots, not to mention different colors, and O'Reilly books ain't bad overall. I like how Peach Press makes their books and this one is very, very good for someone who'd just starting (or, let me add, doesn't need all that much. After all there is about five gazillion 'nifty little' languages and you just can't "master" them all coz there's just so much time in life.) It's a good book to get a gist of how javascript is and how to do some basic things with it. I'm gonna look at some other Peach Print books now, coz I like how they look and they're not expensive.
