What to read on JavaScript?

Question

JavaScript

Advise explanatory books/manuals on JS.
Is there a generally accepted reference for JS, perhaps in chm format?

Answer 1

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Javascript (mostly in English) + https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/web
javascript.ru/ (well, Russian)

Answer 2

The Rhino Book, Crockford's articles, Resig's blog.

Answer 3

Practically, any book on Javascript is the embodiment of Evil. They are full of mistakes, stupid examples and bad advice. Important features of the language are either poorly considered or not touched upon at all. I have gone through dozens of Javascript books and can only recommend one of them: Javascript: The Definitive Guide (5th Edition) by David Flanagan.

But it's better to order :)

Answer 4

e-sementsov.narod.ru/download.htm#1
There are links there:
Javascript.chm Essentially 4 books on Javascript.
Intro_Javascript.chm A practical introduction to Javascript programming. Pavel Khramtsov.
Javascript_Programming.chm Javascript programming. Also from Pavel Khramtsov, though a slightly different version.
Windows_script_Host_56.chm Windows script Host 5.6. Book on scripts (js, vbs, wsh, wsf) in Windows.
I recommend the last option for administration, the rest is for the web.
Everything is in chm and with a search (I stamped it myself from html).

Answer 5

McFarland "Javascript: The Definitive Guide". The network is only on Google Books in English. Mostly practical examples. For complete happiness, only some technical details are missing, but not everyone needs them.
If you want to go deeper and with details, then Flanagan, pdf of the 5th edition in Russian is on the net.

Answer 6

Fanny Goodman Javascript Bible
