Third-Party JavaScript

This book covers everything it states under its description. If you are a developer or even a network administrator and need to understand the communication of web app networking and protocol security (high-level) this book is excellent. The working photo store example(s) carried on throughout the book are easily to follow and implement for a hands-on learning experience. I didn't find any flaws in this book based on how it is advertised. And based on the real-world experience from these two blokes who are practically thought leaders on the subject, you could do a lot worse than to shell out a few clams for this great book on integrating 3rd party javascript.

Fantastic book! I was tasked with creating a javascript widget app for our partners and was able to do it with the help of this book.It goes into 2 implementations, the pure javascript route and using an iframe. If you ever wondered how javascript widgets like a twitter feed work by dropping in a script onto your site, this is the book to use.

Very informative and well-written. It goes into the right and wrong way to write third party Javascript and why certain methods are better than others.

Manning usually ensure their books are pretty solid. This one is absolutely awful though. A few reasons:1. It's not prescriptive. If you're looking for a book that will show you:* This is how you should structure your script loader* This is how you should load 3rd party dependencies* This is how you should configure your widgetYou won't find it. Sometimes you'll get a number of disconnected examples, but you'll waste a ton of time reading as they go through crappy solutions. Then they tell you how terrible that idea was, and that you should do it some other way. Usually that other way references 3rd party libraries that they don't show you how to actually use. Want to load jquery for your plugin? Too bad. Want to know how to template html? Too bad. Want to know how to configure your widget? Sure, we'll waste your time with 3 lousy ways, sprinkle in some code that obviously won't work in common circumstances, and then finally present the option that is obviously the best, though they'll not point it out.Some code examples have random javascript included that have utterly no purpose for being there whatsoever.This is the first tech book I've tried to get a refund on. Hoping Manning will permit it.

I am a backend programmer picking up front-end, and this book has been the greatest help. It wastes no words on stuff that's too fundamental, but it covers everything a front-end n00b needs to know. With a powerful realworld example, it gave me many "ah-ha!" moments. By the time I get to the end, I feel all the dots has been connected for me, and the whole front-end world is now crystal clear.This time I just flipped through. I will read the book again during the holidays while implementing the examples, and I am sure I will get more out of it.Highly recommend, especially if you work on JS sdks, libs, or anything platform-ie.

These guys are pretty good at the JavaScripts, and you should definitely buy their book.If you can't trust a Russian and Canadian, who can you trust?

Python? Really? You couldn't get in step with the rest of the world and at least show how to use it with IIS on Windows?

Very well written and thorough guide to writing third-party JavaScript. The book assumes a good understanding of JavaScript but as such I hadn't read much of this before, it's all kept relevant and covers every aspect of the topic. I'm glad it includes a deep look at iFrames as this was more useful to me, even though the author favours client-side script. Really a very good book for any experienced JS developer who wants a few new techniques.

L'argomento third party javascript non è abbastanza complesso e questo libro affronta tutte le soluzioni possibili (ad oggi, ovviamente) in modo esauriente. Con i pro e contro, con digressioni storiche che sono interessanti e forniscono nozioni necessarie.

Das Buch ist wirklich sehr gut und sehr empfehlenswert. Da aber schon ein paar Jahre ins Land gezogen sind, währe eine aktualisierte Version wünschenswert. Trotzdem sollte das jeder lesen, der Third Party Javascirpt schreibt.

Très pratique, plein d'infos et pour chaque problème abordé il y a plusieurs solutions proposées avec leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients.
