JavaScript: Just the Basics - A Primer for the Complete Beginner

Editorial Review :
JavaScript has become one of the most ubiquitous and important computer languages. It's now used not only for adding active behavior to web pages, but also for writing applications for web servers, mobile devices, and even the computer desktop. Despite its popularity, however, JavaScript isn't easy to learn or to understand. JavaScript isn't simply "Java Lite." Rather, it's a highly unique, subtle, flexible, quirky, hazardous, full-featured, and fascinating computer language.
I wrote this book to simplify JavaScript, to teach the basics of the language clearly and quickly so that you can begin working with it as soon as possible. The other JavaScript books I've read are either way too long for the beginner, or seem to have other primary agendas such as critiquing the language or teaching programming principles. This book is for the webmaster, the web programmer, or the web designer who wants to learn JavaScript NOW.
No matter how far you plan to delve into JavaScript in the future, this book will provide the FIRST STEP. It certainly doesn't include all the details of this complex language. It doesn't duplicate the free online JavaScript documentation, but rather is meant to be used in conjunction with it and includes many documentation links. It focuses on basic and practical techniques, and avoids advanced, redundant, and less useful ones. It emphasizes legacy features that are supported consistently by all modern browsers, and skirts browser-dependent features as well as new features that are still under development. But to keep things interesting and to offer a vision of the possibilities, it does include a number of demonstrations to introduce you to more advanced JavaScript technologies, such as animations, cookies, and Ajax.
I think that you'll find "JavaScript: Just the Basics" to be a highly readable tutorial, which you can enjoy from beginning to end, and that you'll take away a good basic understanding of the language and how to use it.
This book was conceived, designed, written, and formatted as a digital-only book. I've carefully prepared the manuscript so that the source code listings, tables, and figures are easy to read, and the book is simple to navigate. The book does not include a traditional index. For most ebooks, indexes are awkward and slow. Plan to use your ebook reader's much more powerful Search feature instead.
The book is approximately 50,000 words in length. I've provided a companion website, where you can download the book's example source code and find other resources.

Python in a Nutshell, Second Edition (In a Nutshell)

Editorial Review :
This book offers Python programmers one place to look when they need help remembering or deciphering the syntax of this open source language and its many powerful but scantily documented modules. This comprehensive reference guide makes it easy to look up the most frequently needed information--not just about the Python language itself, but also the most frequently used parts of the standard library and the most important third-party extensions. Ask any Python aficionado and you'll hear that Python programmers have it all: an elegant object-oriented language with readable and maintainable syntax, that allows for easy integration with components in C, C++, Java, or C#, and an enormous collection of precoded standard library and third-party extension modules. Moreover, Python is easy to learn, yet powerful enough to take on the most ambitious programming challenges. But what Python programmers used to lack is a concise and clear reference resource, with the appropriate measure of guidance in how best to use Python's great power. Python in a Nutshell fills this need. Python in a Nutshell, Second Edition covers more than the language itself; it also deals with the most frequently used parts of the standard library, and the most popular and important third party extensions. Revised and expanded for Python 2.5, this book now contains the gory details of Python's new subprocess module and breaking news about Microsoft's new IronPython project. Our "Nutshell" format fits Python perfectly by presenting the highlights of the most important modules and functions in its standard library, which cover over 90% of your practical programming needs. This book includes: - A fast-paced tutorial on the syntax of the Python language
- An explanation of object-oriented programming in Python
- Coverage of iterators, generators, exceptions, modules, packages, strings, and regular expressions
- A quick reference for Python's built-in types and functions and key modules
- Reference material on important third-party extensions, such as Numeric and Tkinter
- Information about extending and embedding Python
Python in a Nutshell provides a solid, no-nonsense quick reference to information that programmers rely on the most. This book will immediately earn its place in any Python programmer's library. Praise for the First Edition: "In a nutshell, Python in a Nutshell serves one primary goal: to act as an immediately accessible goal for the Python language. True, you can get most of the same core information that is presented within the covers of this volume online, but this will invariably be broken into multiple files, and in all likelihood lacking the examples or the exact syntax description necessary to truly understand a command."
--Richard Cobbett, Linux Format
"O'Reilly has several good books, of which Python in a Nutshell by Alex Martelli is probably the best for giving you some idea of what Python is about and how to do useful things with it."
--Jerry Pournelle, Byte Magazine Customer Review :

Questions & Answers
Question : Can you clarify the difference between "general" and "clinical" population and why a difference exists?
I am reading a statistic that reads"Lifetime prevalence is estimated at 1% in the general population and 2% to 16% in clinical populations"I understand the difference between the 1% general population estimation and the 2% to 16%, but I can't understand how this figure is reached or why the general population estimate is 'less' than the clinical one. Why would these two differ? Are the clinical studies not meant to represent the general population unless otherwise noted? How would one arrive at the answer of what the general population estimate would be and how could it be less?
Answer:
I imagine general population refers to everybody in the country while clinical population refers to those with symptoms.For example; I might say the prevalence of diabetes in the general population is 2% but in the clinical population (ie. those that experience symptoms of diabetes) the prevalence is 15%. This is then basically saying that 85% of people experiencing diabetes symptoms don't actually have the disease.Statistics for general population are gotten by randomly testing a sample size of all races, sexes, ages etc, regardless of symptoms. Clinical population statistics are gathered by GPs who target patients experiencing the relevant symptoms and test them to get prevalence in a clinical population.When the word clinical is used in medicine it normally means symptomatic.

Question : How many dates in general do you start easing off the good face?
It seems people in general put on a face with a perfect mentality and attitude and then slowly try to change a person from problems that were apparent from the start or peoples true selves start to show.How many dates in general about do you slowly stop easing off the "Honeymoon phase"?Be honest please, its on the internet :D
Answer:
honestly, if you really want to find someone you love you should be truthful about who you are from the beginning....now im not saying tell the person ur life story, but never put on a act, because it will be harder to act yourself and find someone compatible.plus you should not try to make the honey moon fad happen in a relationship it should come naturally.Honey moon fazes will come and go. just be yourself from the start.

Question : What general types of tissue have been afflicted in a second degree burn?
What general types of tissue have been afflicted? If you get a second degree sunburn.
Answer:
"Second degree" is an outdated term. Burns are classified as Superficial, Partial Thickness, and Full Thickness. By second degree sunburn I guess you mean more than just reddened painful skin. I am also guessing that you mean fluid filled blisters have formed or are beginning to form. I would highly recommend getting out of the sun. These burn could be serious and require medical attention. The tissues that would be afflicted would be the epidermis and dermis.
