Reviews for MooTools Essentials: The Official MooTools Reference for JavaScript and Ajax Developement (FirstPress)

1. Frustrating

   Rated 3 out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010

   It's a reference book; that's what it says on the front. So it's not something you'd read from cover to cover to understand what MooTools can do for you. The ideal use of this book is to dip in and quickly refer to functions and parameters you need and there's the rub...
   
   There is no index (ok, there is an extensive contents section); and the footer on every page tell you the title of the book (conventional but useless) the publisher (as if I care) and the page number. Where is the chapter number & title so I can quickly flick through and find the rough area for what I'm looking for? I found this a frustrating book to navigate.
   
   I've awarded 3 stars but sadly for this book one of those was granted because of the subject matter. I love MooTools but I expect/hope there are better organised books about.
