javascript review
It was very helpful. It is written for a beginning programmer not just a beginning Javascript programmer.

Best Book I've Foundfor Beginning Programmers
I found this book an excellent tutorial for beginners to programming, especially since debugging Javascript can be tricky.

Even though this book is the older edition, it is still relevant and is one of the best-organized beginning Javascript books I've seen. All the examples are relevant and I intend to keep this book as a reference, as well. I've already recommended it to several people.

Great, great, great...
Previously, I tried to get into JS by using "Dummies" book, but it proved to be really confusing - I couldn't understand a single thing of what author was saying and it ended up being an exercise in frustration.

"A Beginner's Guide", then is a complete opposite of "JS for Dummies", since everything is explained in details and you can easily memorize/understand the difference between variables, functions and anything else. This is not an easy feat to achieve, by any means and I feel that this is a good choice for beginners.
