Learn advanced JavaScript techniques with this free chess game tool

Whether it is determining the position of a pawn on a chess board or a button on a Web interface, properly coding JavaScript requires thorough knowledge of the underlying logic.

Programming is as much art as it is science. Developing a Web interface using JavaScript often revolves around the logic that determines the current position and state of various interface objects such as windows, frames, buttons, and links. This download walks you through an interface refinement process for a chess simulator written in JavaScript. The enhancement implementations outlined show you how to use proven coding techniques to resolve bugs, increase code reusability, establish broader browser compatibility, and add incremental features to an existing application. To help facilitate your understanding of the techniques used in this process, the download also includes the incremental and final code for the project, as well as several demonstrations and examples that show you the results of these coding changes.

The application under development in this download is a chess simulator; it recounts the moves of a chess match for review purposes. What additional enhancements would you suggest for this app?
