Book Review -- JavaScript: the Definitive Guide, 6th Edition

[sl4shd0t]

Michael J.

Its increasing capabilities and popularity are due to several factors, including the development of libraries that resolve earlier stumbling blocks that held the language back (such as inconsistencies among the implementations in different vendors' browsers). JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, authored by David Flanagan, was first published just one year later, in 1996, with several significant updates made since then."Read below for the rest of Michael's reviewhttp://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbooks.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F11%2F06%2F02%2F1511219%2FBook-Review----JavaScript-the-Definitive-Guide-6th-Edition%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Book+Review+--+JavaScript%3A+the+Definitive+Guide%2C+6th+Edition %3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FkvjMCW)
