Suehring S. JavaScript Step by Step

3rd ed. — O’Reilly Media, Inc., 2013. — 480 p. — ISBN: 9780735665934.This third edition of JavaScript Step by Step builds on the foundation laid down by the first two editions. While the underlying architecture of the JavaScript language has remained largely the same, use of JavaScript has become pervasive, with huge year- over-year increases and an expanded importance to developers. With that in mind, the layout and coverage of the book have also remained largely the same, with some notable exceptions. The book now places extra emphasis on JavaScript event handling and the use of jQuery to speed development. The book also includes a final section on Windows 8 development using JavaScript. However, this book is most definitely not
Microsoft-centric.
