Hi all,

I've finally decided to get serious about learning JavaScript, and to facilitate this endeavor I've unearthed my copy of Danny Goodman's JavaScript Bible, 3rd Ed. (circa 1995, for which I no longer have the companion CD), but on reading the first chapter alone Ive realized just how outdated this tome is (with references to IE & NN v.2.0, Win3.1, "Digital's" Alta Vista, etc), so I am now considering purchasing the updated 4th Ed. The only problem with that is that I've read the reviews on Amazon.com and, judging by many of the reviews, it apparently doesn't live up to it's billing. I'm wondering if any of you have read the entire 4th Ed., or at least a substantial portion of it, and if so what your impressions are of it. Along with that, are there any particular references and/or tutorials - online or hardcopy- that you'd recommend I consider, or avoid, in acquiring this new-to-me skillset? Appropriate comments greatly appreciated!
