I believe in doing things the right way. So does the author of this book. In this regard, this is a great book: You learn what the right way is.<\/p>\n
Not for hard-core developers.<\/strong> The intended audience is web designers. I second that. This book is also an excellent choice if you’re just thinking whether web-development with JavaScript is for you. Or if you want to read about web-development’s best practices (read chapter 5). It is not thorough and does not cover the advanced topics, like OO programming, etc.<\/p>\n Doing things right. <\/strong>And how to get there. This the nicest feature about this book. Slowly, sometimes first showing the bad approach and then refactoring to a more best-practices oriented solution. Nicely done. I wish more beginning books had an approach like this.<\/p>\n Separation of concerns<\/strong>: Separation of layers. My main objective for reading this book was so I learn more about the best practices. I did not learn anything new, but reading about the best practices again is a nice refresher. Separating structure, presentation, and behavior is the most important best practice when doing web development. The author does a good job explaining and really diving into this concept.<\/p>\n To say it once more, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript should be separate<\/strong>. You’ll learn that in this book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I believe in doing things the right way. So does the author of this book.
