Time to get started

One of the best things about JavaScript is that it’s easy to start with a simple script that makes cool things happen on your Web page then add more complicated stuff as you need it. You don’t have to learn a whole book’s worth of information before you can start improving your Web pages. But by the time you’re done with the book, you’ll be adding advanced interactivity to your sites with Ajax.

Of course, every journey begins with the first step, and if you’ve read this far, your journey into JavaScript and Ajax has already begun. Thanks for joining us; please keep your hands and feet inside the moving vehicle. And please, no flash photography.
