Official Netscape Javascript Book
Official Netscape Javascript 1.2 Book: The Nonprogrammer's Guide to Creating Interactive Web Pages, Second Edition, by Peter Kent and John Kent and under the Netscape Press umbrella, offers fairly complete coverage of the JavaScript language. If you are already familiar with Java, you'll only have to bone up on the basic user interface functions (alert, prompt, confirm), the basic JavaScript objects, (window and document) and their methods, and a few new string-handling functions (dealing with generating HTML and specifying fonts). If you are starting from a background in C, however, you'll need to become familiar with the different syntax for I/O and string manipulation, the limited object hierarchy, and a different event handling (which will be found to be easier than C++ and much easier than the Windows SDK). Experienced programmers will be interested in the advanced features that this book covers.

Practical JavaScript for the Web
This is a new kind of JavaScript book. It's not cut'n'paste, it's not a reference, and it's not an exhaustive investigation of the JavaScript language. It is about client-side, web focused, and task-oriented JavaScript. JavaScript is a core skill for web professionals, and as every web professional knows, client-side JavaScript can produce all sorts of glitches and bugs. 'Practical JavaScript for the Usable Web' takes a two pronged approach to learning the JavaScript that you need to get your work done: teaching the core client-side JavaScript that you need to incorporate usable interactivity into your web applications, including many short functional scripts, and building up a complete application with shopping cart functionality. When you have finished working with this book, you'll have a thorough grounding in Client-side JavaScript, and be able to construct your own client-side functionality quickly and easily.

Professional JavaScript
JavaScript is the language of the web, used in programming all the major browsers. It is a powerful scripting language that lets web developers produce more powerful, more user-friendly and more interactive web pages, and with the release of the Version 5 browsers its power will become even greater. JavaScript is not just for client-side, however; it's increasingly finding favour as a server side programming language- in Microsoft's ASP technology- and as a programming language for administration tasks with applications such as the Windows Scripting Host. This book covers the broad spectrum of programming JavaScript - from the core language to browser applications and server-side use to stand-alone and embedded JavaScript. It includes a guide to the language - when where and how to get the most out of JavaScript - together with practical case studies demonstrating JavaScript in action. The book concludes with a comprehensive reference section.
