Product Description
The purpose of this book is to provide a reference manual on the use of the JavaScript and VBScript languages, so that you can use these languages in order to develop client applications in an Internet and/or an intranet environment.
This books is divided into four parts.
The first part provides a historical and technical overview of the Internet and of pages in HTML format. Then it reviews the origins and the appearance of script languages and it describes the characteristics of Javascript and VBScript.
The second part of this book describes the fundamental of the HTML language, along with the HTML form validation, and the principles of writing scripts for HTML pages.
The third part of this book concerns exclusively Javascript and VBScript. It covers syntax rules, datatypes, declaring and using variables, procedures, functions, operators and control structures.
the fourth and final part of this book covers the items that you need in order to write high performance scripts :
- associating scripts with HTML event handlers,
– Objects that are integrated in the Javascript and the VBScript kernels,
– Web browser objects,
– Writing your own objects,
– Handling runtime errors.
All these parts are illustrated with numerous examples.
Product Description
If you want to make your Web pages more active and interactive, you should be exploring JavaScript. As programming languages go, it is one of the easiest to learn. Though you can produce quite extensive applications with it if you really want, it is designed for small-scale work. Blocks of JavaScript code can be interwoven with standard HTML to add an extra dimension to your Web pages. This Made Simple book is not intended for proficient programmers who just need to pick up the rules and the vocabulary but is for you if you have little or no prior experience of programming, and it starts from scratch. The Author has concentrated on the basic concepts and practical uses of the language, and tried to avoid getting bogged down in technicalities. JavaScript Made Simple will take you through to the point where you can write small scripts to enhance and add interest to your Web pages. From this book you’ll gain the foundations and the confidence to go further into the language. Each feature is demonstrated at work in a short example, as new concepts are best learnt through practical work. You will find exercises at the end of most chapters – use them to test your knowledge and to experiment with new ideas. The text files for the larger examples, and for all of the answers to the exercises, can be found on the Made Simple Web pages.

If you are designing websites and need an introduction to programming with the scripting language of the Web, Brilliant Javascript will show you how to use basic javascript programming to to improve the functionality and design of your webpages, validate forms, detect browsers, create cookies, and much more. Summary JavaScript is a critical component of nearly all web pages and web applications, and is the most popular scripting language on the internet, working in all major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, and Opera. It is a very powerful language but often overlooked as such. For years it has been used primarily for two things validating form entries, and image rollovers. Yet there is much more under the hood. JavaScript is as powerful and comprehensive as any other development language. JavaScript gives HTML designers a programming tool- HTML authors are normally not programmers, but JavaScript is a scripting language with a very simple syntax! Almost anyone can put small “snippets” of code into their HTML pages. Brilliant JavaScript will take the reader through the necessary introductory material, and build on this to present practical applicable methods involving text, maths and numbers, and much more. Further tips will be presented in boxouts and text alerts . The book will follow a progression of knowledge; however will be modular in approach. A reader can jump right to the task(s) they need to learn and use. The step by step approach will make it easy to follow how JavaScript is written and implemented something that many developers struggle with when it comes to JavaScript’s cryptic syntax.
Product Description
Specialisation in software has become a thing of the past. With the move towards graphical user interface programming, engineers must have a sound knowledge of several programming languages and for the first time most of the main technical languages are introduced in a single volume.
All the example programs included relate to real life applications to provide a long needed reference that students will find invaluable throughout their studies, and a definitive guide for professional developers requiring an insight into other languages. Using C++ and Pascal to provide a basic grounding in software development the author then goes on to introduce more advanced concepts such as object-orientated design through the development of C++. Sections on Visual Basic and 80X86 Assembly Language follow before Java, Windows, NT and DOS are introduced, finishing with an overview of the UNIX system.
