Even if you've never programmed a line of code in your life, you'll quickly learn how to enliven your site with the smarts it needs to automatically tailor its content to an individual user's needs, solve problems, make decisions, create new pages on the fly, and even close sales! Nigel Ford eases you into the basics of JavaScript and then, with the help of dozens of vivid examples, teaches you basic and advanced techniques for adding intelligence to your Web pages; how to store different types of knowledge in your Web pages; techniques for handling requests, accessing files, and using databases in server-side JavaScript; programming for language processing, searching, problem solving, and game playing; and how to program for both the client side and server side with JavaScript.

It then describes the content of modules that use this approach, and reports experiences and findings on first delivery. As a result of positive experiences we are now planning to use JavaScript as precursor to Java for mainstream Computing students.
