Release Notes<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
So you're ready to make the leap from writing HTML and CSS web pages to creating <br />
dynamic web applications. You want to take your web skills to the next level. <br />
And you're finally ready to add "programmer" to the resume. It sounds like <br />
you're ready to learn the Web's hottest programming language: JavaScript. Head <br />
First JavaScript is your ticket to going beyond copying and pasting the code <br />
from someone else's web site, and writing your own interactive web pages. With <br />
Head First JavaScript, you learn: The basics of programming, from variables to <br />
types to looping How the web browser runs your code, and how you can talk to the <br />
browser with your code Why you'll never have to worry about casting, <br />
overloading, or polymorphism when you're writing JavaScript code How to use the <br />
Document Object Model to change your web pages without making your users click <br />
buttons If you've ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect -- a <br />
visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head First <br />
JavaScript is no exception. It starts where HTML and CSS leave off, and takes <br />
you through your first program into more complex programming concepts -- like <br />
working directly with the web browser's object model and writing code that works <br />
on all modern browsers. Don't be intimidated if you've never written a line of <br />
code before! In typical Head First style, Head First JavaScript doesn't skip <br />
steps, and we're not interested in having you cut and paste code. You'll learn <br />
JavaScript, understand it, and have a blast along the way. So get ready... <br />
dynamic and exciting web pages are just pages away.<br />
