JavaScript in 24 Hours, 7th Edition

This book is the Chinese translation of the 7th edition of Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript in 24 Hours. Written for complete beginners, it lays out a complete learning path through JavaScript, from basic syntax to hands-on practice, across 24 chapters in six parts. Part 1, "JavaScript Basics," begins with the difference between server-side and client-side programming and the origins of JavaScript, then guides readers to write their first script, use functions, and get an initial look at DOM objects and built-in objects. Part 2 moves into the everyday programming essentials: numbers, strings, arrays, events, and program control. Part 3 covers object-oriented programming, advanced objects, DOM scripting, and JSON, helping readers understand JavaScript's object model. Part 4 focuses on the web interface, covering how JavaScript works with HTML and CSS and the basics of CSS3. Part 5 addresses more advanced topics such as reading and writing cookies, regular expressions, closures, and organizing code with modules. Part 6 offers advice on good programming habits, debugging code, and continuing to learn; an appendix rounds up commonly used JavaScript development tools. The explanations progress from simple to advanced, and the examples are short and immediately usable, ideal for learning a chapter in spare moments. Note that this edition was completed in the early days of ES6 adoption and bases its syntax coverage on the web standards of that time; when practicing newer techniques, consult the latest documentation.
