Sebastopol, CA—Why reinvent the wheel every time you run into a problem with JavaScript? This newest book in O'Reilly's popular Cookbook series, JavaScript Cookbook (O'Reilly Media, $49.99 USD) is chock-full of code recipes that address common programming tasks, as well as techniques for building web apps that work in any browser. Just copy and paste the code samples into your project—you'll get the job done faster and learn more about JavaScript in the process.
"The use of JavaScript continues to grow as an application environment and not just as a client-side web development tool," says author and JavaScript evangelist Shelley Powers. "At the same time, JavaScript application development is now more complex, requiring a deeper understanding of the language and APIs available in web browsers and other environments. I wanted to write a book that, along with the basics, covered some of the more advanced development topics."You'll also learn how to take advantage of the latest features in ECMAScript 5 and HTML5, including the new cross-domain widget communication technique, HTML5's video and audio elements, and the drawing canvas. You'll find recipes for using these features with JavaScript to build high-quality application interfaces.
