Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more

than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before

it could be refined. This authoritative book offers a detailed explanation of

the features that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming

language, and warns you about the bad parts. In the process, JavaScript: The

Good Parts defines a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and

maintainable than the language as a whole. Author Douglas Crockford, a member of

JavaScript 2.0 committee at ECMA, is considered by many people in the

development community to be the JavaScript expert. A beautiful, elegant,

lightweight and highly expressive language lies buried under a steaming pile of

good intentions and blunders, he explains. The very good ideas include

functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal

notation. Awful ideas include a programming model based on global variables.

With JavaScript: The Good Parts, you can release this elegant programming

language from its old shell, and create more maintainable, extensible, and

efficient code. The book's topics include: Syntax Objects Functions Inheritance

Arrays Regular expressions Methods Style Beautiful features Appendices summarize

JavaScript's bad parts and awful parts. But the greatest benefit of studying the

good parts is that you can avoid the need to unlearn the bad parts. If you want

to learn more about the bad parts and how to use them badly, consult any other

JavaScript book. JavaScript is the language of the Web -- the only language

found in all browsers -- so avoiding it altogether is not an alternative.

But,whether you'remanaging object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run

fast, Crockford's guidance in JavaScript: The Good Parts will help you create

truly effective JavaScript code.
