What's so special about this book?
We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new
concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning
theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First
JavaScript Programming uses a visually rich format designed for the way
your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. This
book replaces Head First JavaScript, which is now out of print.
