Acrobat expert John Deubert teaches JavaScript programming basics in the context of carrying out specific, useful tasks in Acrobat. For example, you'll learn how to manipulate Acrobat with JavaScript to perform calculations, retrieve data from a database, process form data, and more. And each tutorial is broken down into small, manageable chunks so as not to overwhelm you with long blocks of code. A one-of-a kind book, Extending Acrobat Forms with JavaScript is a great resource for anyone who wants to gain more control over Adobe's extremely popular Acrobat software. Extending Acrobat Forms with JavaScript is a simple way to add power to forms.

Advanced Javascript
JavaScript is a very powerful and easy to use scripting language that runs on both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, and can be incorporated into any standard HTML document that will then run in any web browser on any operating system. Because of this platform independence, JavaScript is one of the most widely used web development languages. This revision of Learn Advanced JavaScript Programming focuses on professional-level JavaScript techniques, including the latest developments. The first few chapters review fundamental JavaScript concepts and techniques as well as basic HTML, while the rest of the book discusses advanced techniques including debugging, security, style sheets, and using JavaScript with layers.
