Ask HN: Any good JavaScript books?

3 pointsby ygd_coderover 15 years ago

I've seen the cool things that developers are doing with JavaScript. Especially http://sonspring.com/journal/jquery-desktop.I'm wondering what the best book on the subject is. Just two things:- It has to be freely downloadable online - It has to have assignments at the end of the chapterAs for the assignments thing, I think it's really great. It's the best way to show yourself that you learned what you read.Oh, and if it matters, I know Java and Python.Edit: formatting

After you figure out that your criteria are too exclusive you should go buy a copy of Crockford's Javascript: The Good Parts. ;)

If you want to learn correct JavaScript the only choice is "JavaScript: The Best Parts" by Douglas Crockford on O'Reilly.

I found these immensely useful a) PPK on JavaScript b)JavaScript the good parts c) JavaScript: the definitive guide.

Pro Javascript by John Resig.jQuery, it's better than some mainstream languages; use it and love it.
