EJEMPLOS DE LA BIBLIA DE JAVASCRIPT

Acommon thread running throughout most of my computer-book–writing career is that I tend to write a book I wish I had had in order to learn a new technology in the first place. Because I must write that book without the benefit of existing models, I begin by doing my best to master the technology, and then I write the book to help other newcomers learn as much as I did, but more quickly and with less pain, anguish, and confusion. To accomplish that goal, I write as much content as I feel is necessary to cover the topic in the depth that my readers require.

When I started on what became the 4th and Gold editions of the JavaScript Bible, there were models to follow (my previous three editions) plus a substantial amount of brand new material, much of which had not yet been documented anywhere. I also assumed the responsibility of integrating the frequently conflicting and competing philosophies of the ways the JavaScript language is applied to a variety of browser brands and versions. Resolving these conflicts is a challenge that I face in  my own programming work with clients, and I take great pleasure in sharing my solutions and approaches with other programmers floating in the same boat.
