Expert web developer and author John Resig concentrates on fundamental, vital topics--what modern javascripting is (and isn't), the current state of browser support, and pitfalls to be wary of. The book is organized into four sections:

* Modern javascript development--using javascript the object-oriented way, creating reusable code, plus testing and debugging
* DOM scripting--updating content and styles, plus events, and effect and event libraries
* Ajax--how Ajax works, overcoming problems, and using libraries to speed up development of Ajax applications
* The future of javascript--looking at cutting edge topics like JSON, HTML 5, and more
