In JavaScript for the Business Developer, author Mike Faust builds the case for integrating JavaScript into business applications and then shows the application programmer how JavaScript can help them create dynamic business applications with Web browser interfaces. Developing compelling, user-friendly interfaces is one of the best arguments for using JavaScript when building business applications. Often, an application functions well and offers bulletproof reliability, but it has an awkward or outdated look and feel. JavaScript can easily modernize a GUI interface by making it more dynamic and interactive.
Faust demonstrates techniques to add dynamic elements to applications so they look like they came right "out of the box." For example, JavaScript can be used to display information when a user’s mouse hovers over a given field. It also can allow a user to customize elements of the interface—like color schemes, font styles, and even the location of information elements within the application.
JavaScript for the Business Developer is specifically geared for programmers writing common business applications. Spend some time learning this new skill, and you can bring a more dynamic interface to your applications. Let this book be your guide to building powerful, interactive business applications.
