Because Fireworks extensions must be written in JavaScript, this guide assumes that readers are familiar with JavaScript syntax and with basic programming concepts such as functions, arguments, and data types. It also assumes that readers understand the concept of working with objects and properties. This guide does not attempt to teach programming in general or JavaScript in particular.
Anyone who wants to extend Fireworks should have a good JavaScript reference to help with syntax questions (for example, is it substring() or subString()?). Useful JavaScript references include JavaScript Bible by Danny Goodman (IDG), JavaScript: The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan (O'Reilly), and Pure JavaScript by R. Allen Wyke, Jason D. Gilliam, and Charlton Ting (Sams).
