This book offers brief coverage of JavaScript and Web programming.  This modest volume does not permit an exhaustive coverage of either HTML (used to create Web pages) or JavaScript (used to add animation, automation, and user interaction to Web pages). Instead, readers learn enough of both to do some fairly fancy things in the Web environment. Along the way, they pick up the concepts and techniques of computer programming.  For readers who want to learn computer programming in the Web environment.
