Guide Review - JavaScript - The Definitive Guide
Reference.. JavaScript
The first thing I did when I received this book was open it to somewhere in the middle. What I found there was a reference of all objects, properties, funtions, methods and event handlers found in client-side JavaScript in alphabetical order. This section named each term (or code) is a synopsis and a description of how to use them.
There are also reference sections in this book for Core JavaScript and W3CDOM and also an index for class, property and methods. These are all very valuable tools when trying to write great javascripts.
