Excellent book for the beginner or intermediate JavaScript programmer

(Disclaimer: this is a summary of a more lengthy review I posted at http://www.bramstein.com/articles/object-oriented-javascript.html) The book starts with a good introduction to the various aspects of JavaScript, from data types and control structures in Chapter 2 to functions and objects in Chapter 3 and 4. The writing in these chapters is clear and contains plenty of examples you can follow along. Although these chapters...

These chapters alone are worth the price of the book. They are probably clearer than any other book on the subject. Beginners and moderate...

Learning how to create component-based applications using JavaScript is not an easy thing to master if all you know about JavaScript...
