Good JavaScript programming book?

Name: Anonymous 2011-10-31 16:23

Sup, /p/?

I'm learning how to program in JS, and wondering if y'all could suggest a good book for it. I've already blazed through JavaScript: The Good Parts. Guess I need to learn about the bad parts now...

start off by reading through some of the pages on quirksmode to get a feel of how terrible javascript used to be due to browser incompatibilities.

lucky for you, things have changed since the dark old days and JavaScript got formalised as ECMAscript. so ... you might want to read through the reference to ensure you know of all its features.

the browser API's got standardized by W3C and there's a metric shitton of them (http://www.w3.org/standards/techs/js). the HTML5 team is also creating new API's. Not everything is supported everywhere so code accordingly.

NB: the web is full of shitty javascript that got copy pasted from site to site. stay away from those shitty tutorial sites, the only site i really use is MDN.
