JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, Sixth Edition--New from O'Reilly Media
Activate Your Web Pages

Sebastopol, CA--Since 1996, "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly Media, $49.99 USD) has
been the bible for JavaScript programmers--a programmer's guide and comprehensive reference to the
core language and to the client-side JavaScript APIs defined by web browsers.

Now, "JavaScript is on fire. It's the language of the Web and of the mobile Web. Browser vendors
are racing each other to speed up the language and add more and more scriptable features to
browsers," notes expert author David Flanagan (@__DavidFlanagan). "The 6th edition has
comprehensive coverage of the core JavaScript language, including the newest (ECMAScript 5)
features and also covers the newest browser features (HTML5) such as client-side graphics, local
storage, the application cache, web workers and binary APIs."

Plus, adds Flanagan, "This isn't a book about doing specific things. It's a book about
understanding. I hope what comes with a careful reading is deep understanding and mastery of the
language, and of its client-side capabilities."

Many chapters in this sixth edition have been completely rewritten to bring them in line with
today's best web development practices. "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" is recommended for
experienced programmers who want to learn the programming language of the Web, and for current
JavaScript programmers who want to master it.

--J. Chris Anderson, cofounder of CouchBase, ApacheCouchDB committer, and author of "CouchDB: The

"...an indespensable reference for all JavaScript developers. If there's something I need to know
about JavaScript, I trust The Definitive Guide will have the right answer for me. It's that good."
--Rey Bango, Microsoft Client-Web Community Program Manager and jQuery Team Member
