JavaScript for the Business Developer

Building the case for integrating JavaScript in business applications and then showing the business-application programmer how to use JavaScript effectively, this book boasts techniques that add the dynamic element that users are becoming accustomed to in "out of the box" applications. Highlighting the importance of creating an exciting, user-friendly interface, programmers are shown how to easily avoid having an application that functions well and reliably but has an outdated look or feel. Business programmers don't need to become JavaScript experts to begin using these techniques to enhance their applications and give more function to their users.
