Please forgive me for being off topic. To lessen the nuisance please answer me off-list.
I have been assigned to work with DOM Scripting courses for higher education by the Web Standards Project EduTF. I am looking for three things: 1. Writings (and talks/slides/blog posts) about ES 4 from a pedagogic perspective. (The reason I am addressing this list.) 2. Writings about current and future ECMAScript (and the DOM) from a computer science perspective. (Quite hard to find actually.) 3. Opinions about a few books I have not read myself: a. Are they teaching best practice, unobtrusive "DOM-scripting"? b. Are they targeted at newbies, intermediate or advanced developers? Lars Gunther Going back to lurking... BTW if you want yto help me with question 3, the books are: * Learning JavaScript (Shelley Powers, O'Reilly, 2006) * Head First JavaScript (Michael Morrison, O'Reilly, 2008) * Beginning JavaScript (Programmer to Programmer) (Paul Wilton and Jeremy McPeak, Wrox, 2007) Smells dubious from its table of contents but - as I've said - comments are welcome * JavaScript(TM) Step by Step (Steve Suehring, Microsoft Press, 2008) Late publication date, but is the author really a web developer? * Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript in 24 Hours, 4th Edition (Michael Moncur, Sams, 2006) * Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Professional Guides) (Nikolas Zakas, Wrox, 2005) * Practical JavaScript, DOM Scripting and Ajax Projects (Frank Zammetti, APress, 2007) AJAX specific books. * Adding Ajax (Shelley Powers, O'Reilly, 2007) * Unobtrusive Ajax (Short Cut series) (Jesse Skinner, O'Reilly, 2007) * Head First Ajax (Rebecca M. Riordan, O'Reilly, 2008) Will be published in July * Ajax Design Patterns (O'Reilly, 2006) Maybe better in DS 3 ? * Ajax: The Definitive Guide (Anthony T. Holdener III, O'Reilly, 2008) * Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices (Shawn M. Lauriat, Prentice Hall, 2007) * Enterprise AJAX: Strategies for Building High Performance Web Applications (David W. Johnson, Alexei White and Andre Charland, Prentice Hall, 2007) * Understanding AJAX: Using JavaScript to Create Rich Internet Applications (Joshua Eichorn, Prentice Hall, 2006) * Ajax for Web Application Developers (Kris Hadlock, Sams, 2006) _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
