Guide Review - The Official MIVA Web Scripting Book
Scripting With Miva
Miva Script is a scripting language that looks very similar to JavaScript with some noticeable differences. This book is a comprehensive guide to this scripting language. The book starts out very basic and gets progressively harder. Because it starts out so slowly it is easy even for the beginning Web designer to follow along with.
The first half of the book explains how to use Miva Script. It starts out explaining what all the terms mean, terms such as variables, expressions, functions, characters and strings. Next it will tell you about the features that you can use to control the flow of script execution. Then you will learn to interact and communicate with your users using scripts and forms.
