JavaScript

JavaScript is essential for creating modern, interactive Web sites. But, unlike HTML and CSS, JavaScript is a true programming language with complex rules that are challenging for most Web designers to learn. Whether your aim is to build web pages, or simply learn more client-side programming and scripting languages like Flash, O'Reilly can help along the way.
