If you want a fast pass through this complextopic, "JavaScript in easy steps" is for you. The author's organizationand his revelation of concepts are thoughtful. I am giving this cleverlittle book five stars, although it irks me to do so. This because theauthor could have made things even easier! The instructive exampleswork well. They demonstrate the constructive logic of JavaScriptprogramming, and much to the author's credit, McGrath includesimportant things glossed over elsewhere, like web messaging. It simplyirks me that the author could have made this book truely easy to absorbby simply stating that using a localhost webserver requires that theexample *.html and *.js files be copied into the localhost defaultfolder. (Which happens to be the c:/inetpub/wwwroot directory whenusing Windows 7 Internet Information Services aka "IIS7".) InsteadMcGrath and the easy-steps editors dance around this criticalworkspace instruction. They do not seem to understand that theirgraphic hooha is more of interest to a spectator than informative to astudent trying to learn JavaScript. The fact is that several passesthrough a topic like JavaScript are required for the logic structure tosolidify into usable, working knowledge. "JavaScript in easy steps" is asolid step, one well worth the investment of time and money.There is the issue of paperback versus digital edition. Although I ama keyboard artist myself and an digital publisher (Solo ZonePublishing), I recommend that you buy the paperback, simply becausethe making of handwritten margin notes is so very important to effectivelearning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good *by T***L on July 20, 2013* I found it very straightforward. The one problem I have encountered is that he just sort of tells you to use a server that has echo.pl on it. If you have no knowledge of PERL, you are totally lost for one chapter, and if you are trying to learn JavaScript, why do you have to stop and learn PERL in order to follow him? He should have provided directions on setting up such a server. I'm using VS 2012 and this stumped me despite internet searches. I would also have liked to have seen more references along the lines of "for further information...." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Intro *by M***B on August 5, 2013* Here is a well crafted intro to JavaScript with a hands on section that will let you see the basic flow of the language. The website contains all the example scripts that are in the text. JavaScript can be a little hard to wrap your head around, but this provides an easy to understand starter. Of course it is only the beginning of your education on this important scripting language. --- ## 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://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5108282-javascript-in-easy-steps-fifth-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5108282-javascript-in-easy-steps-fifth-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
