Programming with JavaScript - SkillSoft an Interactive Book

UMUC is initiating a service from SkillSoft, that offers what are essentially interactive text books. We are among the first class to have this service available. Please give SkillSoft a try. Also be sure to complete a SkillSoft Evaluation form for each of the two learning sections offered. These evaluations will help UMUC determine the value of these SkillSoft texts.
