What's the very best Javascript book that you know of?<p>I'm specifically looking for one that goes into modern Javascript techniques, similar to the prototype crowd.
O'Reilly's "Javascript: The Definitive Guide 5th Edition" by David Flanagan teaches Javascript really well including Ajax and DOM.<p>The first half of the book is a Javascript tutorial while the rest is a language reference. Good book.
Didn't we just cover this? Yes, yes we did: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=61311" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=61311</a>
Take a look at the videos on Yahoo by Douglas Crockford on the Javascript Programming Language, and his "Advanced Javascript". Very well presented.<p><a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/theater/" rel="nofollow">http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/theater/</a>
