Publisher's Synopsis
JavaScript is an easier to program scripting language(similar to Perl) that less experienced programmers will be able to learn and use quickly. The first features of JavaScript to be stable are the client-side programming elements and so this book will focus on JavaScript programming on the Client: How to use the Navigator Gold interpreter, Java API, and Plug-Ins API. An entire section is devoted to "wiring" or programming the Netscape plug-ins such as Shockwave, Acrobat, Quicktime.
