Most JS books are geared towards browser scripting. I would still recommend "JavaScript. The Definitive Guide" by David Flanagan. Also watch all the Crockford Videos on JS: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/111593/1710507 http://video.yahoo.com/watch/111593/1710507 After that all you will ever need is: * JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford (must have) * https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference (extensive, lots of examples and hints)
