Once listed in the "nice to have" sections of job postings, these days
the knowledge of JavaScript is a deciding factor when it comes to hiring
web developers. And rightly so. Where in the past we used to have the
occasional few lines of JavaScript embedded in a web page, now we have
advanced libraries and extensible architectures, powering the
"fat-client", AJAX-type rich internet applications.
JavaScript is the language of the browser, but it's also heavily
employed in many other environments: server-side programming, desktop
applications, application extensions and widgets. It's a pretty good
deal: you learn one language and then code all kinds of different
applications. While this book has one chapter specifically dedicated to
the web browser environment including DOM, events, and AJAX tutorials,
the rest is applicable to all the other environments too.

This book treats JavaScript as a serious object-oriented language,
showing you how to build robust, maintainable, and powerful libraries
and applications. Along the way, we cover many of the recent innovations
such as AJAX, JSON, and interesting design and coding patterns. After
reading this book, you'll be prepared to ace your JavaScript job
interview and even impress with some bits that the interviewer maybe
didn't know. You should read this book if you want to be able to take
your JavaScript skills to a new level of sophistication.
