Using this book, developers will learn the relationship between HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, how to validate their JavaScript code, different testing concepts including testing the user interface controlled by JavaScript, how to debug their code using various tools such as Google Chrome and Firefox’s Venkman Extension, and testing more complex code by using JavaScript’s exception handling.

Organized in an easy to follow, step-by-step tutorial style to maximize learning,this example-driven guide is ideal for beginner JavaScript developers, who are looking for essential ways to write, test, and debug JavaScript for different purposes and situations.
