JavaScript Essential Training Video, Book And Website

Eversince  JavaScript is invented, there is a possibility that it will change the natural way of presenting a webpage that make it exceeded the original goal of the world wide web. Envisioned at the outset as a medium for publishing static text and image content across a network, the Web is forever being probed, pushed, and pulled by content authors.

Today, learning JavaScript is a must in every  web developer aside from HTML, CSS and server programming including PHP, ASP, .Net, JSP and Coldfusion because it can make the site more interactive. Also, Macromedia Flash is very plug-in dependent which is not included in the browser. Moreover, once the plug-in is installed, highly graphic and interactive content can take longer to download to the client (especially on a dial-up connection) than some users are willing to wait. This is one of those situations in which you must balance your creative palette with the user’s desire for your interactive content.
