If you're a web developer with previous JavaScript and DOM scripting experience, this book is perfect for you to take your knowledge up to the next level. This book is not about learning how to program JavaScript from scratch. It starts with the assumption that you have done some JavaScript development before and understand the JavaScript syntax. This book builds on top of that knowledge to give you a deeper understanding of DOM Scripting and how to apply that to your projects. It uses this new understanding to describe what JavaScript libraries are and show you how they can be applied to your project. The book will also explain AJAX and how best to plan and apply it to your projects. It explains how to build simple animation objects for adding movement to elements on the page. This book will explain techniques new and old — such as closures, encapsulation, and inheritance — that many are using and how you can best apply them to your own projects.
