This book would be recommended to whom are new to web development, someone who did not get the point of a few of the topics, or a collector of programming-related books. Review: Summary first: This book presumes some knowledge of HTML & CSS (look up Duckett' preceding book if necessary), and introduces main elements of Javascript adequate for basic web-design projects, with no claims to comprehensiveness, and it's certainly a success in that respect. PRESENTATION: Impressive. Looks more like a Wired issue than your typical introductory programming/scripting book, as the latter usually try to fit as much information as possible into limited space, which makes pragmatic sense, but makes you not want to pick up the book and proceed. This book uses space liberally, sacrificing limited space (~600 pages + index) for readability ( devoting an entire page to the diagram of a for loop for instance), using very large fonts for summaries, etc. The design is elegant, and also well-thought: Different text colors, italics etc, are fully employed to make newly introduced syntax easier to comprehend. All code sinppets are included in blue boxes clearly separated from the text, where necessary, javascript and html codes are presented side-by-side. For every method / syntax introduced, browser compatibility is given in a table, and more compatible alternatives offered when necessry. SCOPE: As a corollary of the presentation approach, the scope is limited, albeit sensibly. The book aims to present JavaScript to the extent that it can be employed in basic web design, without trying to present the language in its entire functionality, as such important concepts/aspects are left out (Regular expressions, for instance). Also, HTML and CSS are NOT covered in the book(they're covered in Duckett's preceding book "HTML and CSS", prequel to this one), JQuery, Ajax & JSON are covered in a total of 150 pages, providing a decent, sensible introduction only. COMPARISON/SUGGESTIONS: If you want a more comprehensive guide at hand, consider getting Flanagan's "Javascript: The Definitive Guide", or an equivalent. If you want a more compelling and detailed approach to the language, supplement this book with "Eloquent Javascript", a book available, free of charge, online. ONLINE SUPPLEMENTATION: True to its claim, all code presented in the book are available online for bulk-download. Table of Content (CHAPTERS): 1 The ABC of Programming / 2 Basic JS Instructions / 3 Functions, Methods, Objects / 4 Decisions & Loops / 5 DOM / 6 Events / 7 JQuery / 8 Ajax & JSON / 9 APIs / 10 Error Handling & Debugging / 11 Content Panels / 12 Filtering, Searching & Sorting / 13 Form Enhancement & Validation / Index DURABILITY (WHENCE THE MISSING STAR DERIVES): I've read the entire book on the same bookholder & desk very gently, and still ended up with every page detached from the spine. (For comparison, other books I've read with the same method look almost unused). It's sad to see such a horrible spine/binding chosen for a book when so much care has obviously gone into its composition and design. Hope they revise the spine in future editions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1118531647 | | Best Sellers Rank | #97,098 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #26 in Web Design #94 in Web Programming #146 in Computer Programming Languages | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,258) | | Dimensions | 18.8 x 3.81 x 23.37 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9781118531648 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1118531648 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 640 pages | | Publication date | 18 July 2014 | | Publisher | John Wiley & Sons Inc | ## Images ![JavaScript and JQuery – Interactive Front–End Web Development - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61u7pEHMZUL.jpg) ![JavaScript and JQuery – Interactive Front–End Web Development - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cxePwCu3L.jpg) ![JavaScript and JQuery – Interactive Front–End Web Development - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31thXgvKOfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple to read, beautiful design, and great for new developers. *by A***I on 1 October 2019* A book like this is very unique, it has a beautiful design, a very simple explanation of the lines of code,.

Readily understandable analogies, visualizations and examples. Accessing information happens in miliseconds in todays world but having a phsycial copy and being able to cross-read it feels both nostalgical and nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development - HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites - PHP & MySQL: Server-side Web Development --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/254207456-javascript-and-jquery-interactive-front-end-web-development](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/254207456-javascript-and-jquery-interactive-front-end-web-development) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
