Learning JavaScript

  #1  
Jul 4th, 2004
I have been picking up little bits of JavaScript for a while now and I can do a lot of basic scripts like disjoin (sp) rollovers and redirects and stuff. Now I want to be able to create advanced scripts like games and advanced form handling things. I find that I am much better learning things from books than online tutorials and stuff like that so can anyone recomend some good books? also could you supply the ISBN number.

JavaScript for dummies sucks. Haven't tried any others though. There are a lot of things I would learn way before JavaScript...

The best Javascript book i've found is:
Pure javascript: A Code-Intensive Premium Reference [SAMS]
by R.Allen Wyke, Jason D. Giliam, and Charlton Ting

1000s of Free Javascripts

If you don't need the book to "teach" you as long as it explains everything with precision, a GREAT companion book for Sam's (which will lead you by the hand, but only goes a few steps with you) is O'Reilly's Javascript, the Definitive Guide, by Flanagan, which will allow you to explore further up each side trail Sam's shows you on your own.
