Not Ready For Prime Time
By L. S. Marcus
The number one problem with this book is that it was self-published and did not undergo a formal editorial process. English is not the author's first language and, while I am sensitive to that, if you are going to write a technical book in English, it should be proofread and edited for the proper use of English. The reader will encounter an unusually large amount spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors per page that will make reading this book difficult and slow-going. Additionally, the code samples were not reviewed either and the reader will again encounter numerous typos, redundant code, and unused code.

Second on my list is that it seems that the book does not know who its audience is and so, it has material in it that some readers will find irrelevant, while other readers will find that the book is lacking. Being that this is a book about developing widgets for the web, it would be reasonable to assume that the reader already has strong knowledge of (X)HTML and CSS, and has already been writing JavaScript to enhance their web pages. Yet much of the book talks about elements of the web that are so fundamental that anyone with this skill set would find mind numbing. The book makes the assumption that your widget will be hosted by a public 3rd party host and that you are writing the widget for personal gain. As such, a GREAT DEAL of the book is devoted to discussing building widgets to be hosted by or used within: Google, Facebook, Microsoft Live, Twitter, etc. There's even an appendix dealing with how to promote and make money from your widget, which hardly seems relevant to a book on developing a widget. One small paragraph explains that widgets in the Enterprise will surely be in the future and that's it. There is no more discussion of Enterprise development.

Because the author doesn't take into account who the audience for this book is, there is a great deal of superfluous information in the book and the book is very disorganized. It takes 108 pages before the first example of how to create a widget appears, with the first 107 pages being largely irrelevant to the development process. Some of it could and should have been placed in later chapters and still much of it could have been removed completely. Chapter 6, in particular ("Developing a Rating Widget with JSON and AJAX") really feels like it should be in the appendix as a case study, rather than "here's how the pro's do it", which is what you think you're going to get, but then don't. As one other reviewer pointed out, this book has no index, which is very strange for any technical book. But, this book doesn't really have enough actual technical content to warrant an index. So, the problem isn't that there's no index, the problem is that there isn't enough "meat" to warrant one.

Page 3 of the book talks about the book's support websites. One site is presented as a live look at one of the widgets covered in the book and is described as being a "popular web widget service". The site is unavailable when I try to access it. The other site is the book's support page, which, rather than being broken up into logical sub-pages (errata, source code, sample chapters), is posted all in one very long page, that appears to use AJAX to call for more content as you get close to the bottom of the page. This causes a "never ending" page feeling and worse, clicking anywhere on the page produces an "Out of memory" error. Additionally, the sample code presented on that page has non-ASCII character symbols appearing within it in several spots.

Although there is some good information here and there, I cannot recommend this edition of this book. Hopefully, the book will be revamped, the content will be professionally edited and the material will be honed to be more relevant to the needs of the reader.

more proof reading please this deserves more care
By S. Burt
this is a very useful book for beginners using json and other standards based languages to build widgets for the web. the book itself is easy to read and absorb, but the kindle version which i'm reading has tons of mistakes. Within the 1st chapter it wrongly explans the dom as the domain object model. Code is in the wrong case which if entered as is would genorate syntax errors such as using an uppercase 'V' to declare a variable in flash's actionscript language. i think this error is proably due to the way the book has been converted but still more effort should have gone into a product. In summary good solid content easy to understand and implement in your own projects, just unfortunate it needs more proof reading to be really great.

Great book worth buying, but still needs a revision to clean up the spelling and grammar errors
By Michael Nyman
Pros:

I really like the book and I got a lot out of it. I found the book so good that despite the drawbacks listed below I rate the book 4 stars. This should really be a 5 star book. Unlike other reviewers I didn't find the beginning to be "full of buzzwords". I found it to be a nice, slow and steady introduction to the development of widgets. I thought the Security chapter was especially useful and I liked the appendix "Understanding the Business Model of Web Widget" and the chapter on developing widgets for Facebook. I found them to be quite thought-provoking. They provide a good overview and discussion on the topics.

After reading this book I feel like I wouldn't have any trouble developing widgets of any sort; and that's what it's all about; just what I was looking for.

While reading this book I was in contact with the author several times and I find that to be a nice benefit. He was helpful and responsive.

Cons:

Apparently the first edition of this book was riddled with typos and grammar errors. I'm reviewing the "fully revised and updated" 2nd edition of this book. Despite being fully revised and updated, I find the second edition also has plenty of typos and grammar errors. Unfortunately there are plenty of places where the errors make the book hard to understand. It took me 10 seconds to find an example of what I'm talking about. Here's the exact line:
This secures our server side for display data; let's see the update data part
Not only do I expect something like a colon at the end of that sentence, I expect to see the update data part. Instead I see a new section titled "Rating Value".

I went to the support site for the book and was unable to find the source code to download despite a diligent look. I also found a main link that returned a 404 error.

A lot of the diagrams didn't make sense to me. I ended up mostly ignoring them unless it seemed very important to grock them.

Summary: Despite the drawbacks of the editing, this book was worth it to me.
