I have been programming off and on for a couple of decades. Most recently Obj-C and RonR the past few years with a little Java mixed in. I would like to learn JavaScript, JQuery and JQuery Mobile. I tend to learn better by example than by theory. Given my programming background, where do I start?

Here's the last list I got from polling HN recommendations. This is ordered according to the way I would go about it.<p><a href="http://www.hn-books.com/#B0=41&B1=14&B2=97&B3=89&B4=119&B5=96&B6=30&BC=7&E0=1&EC=1&FC=0&QC=0&Name=Daniel" rel="nofollow">http://www.hn-books.com/#B0=41&B1=14&B2=97&B3=89...</a><p>I've included a JQuery book because in my opinion JQuery is quickly becoming a de facto part of Javascript.
