In 2001 Kevin Yank brought PHP and MySQL into the lives of tens of 
thousands of developers with his definitive book, Build Your Own 
Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL. 

Now, with co-author and JavaScript guru Cameron Adams, Kevin's 
doing the same for JavaScript with the official release of Simply 
JavaScript from SitePoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/). 

Beautifully presented in full color, Simply JavaScript not only 
teaches JavaScript with unprecedented clarity, it does so with a 
sense of humor -- it's guaranteed to keep you entertained.

Perfect for first-time JavaScript coders or individuals looking to 
improve their programming skills, Kevin and Cameron will guide you 
through the JavaScript programming basics, as well as provide 
practical solutions to real-world problems.

Simply JavaScript will teach you how to:

 * Use JavaScript's built-in functions, methods, and properties.
 * Change the content of web pages using the DOM.
 * Use JavaScript to respond to user actions.
 * Create animations that bring a web site to life.
 * Build forms that validate entries and interact with users.
 * Build a richer user experience with Ajax.
 * Explore the amazing things that JavaScript makes possible.

The JavaScript code used to create each of the components in the 
book is available for download, and is guaranteed to be simple, 
efficient, best practice, and ready to use in your own web site.

Simply JavaScript co-author and SitePoint technical director Kevin 
Yank is extremely proud of his new book: "We knew from the 
beginning that it wasnít worth writing another beginner's JavaScript 
book unless we could produce something really special, and we 
definitely have."
