Starting my career with this

Im a front end web developer, i use jQuery n js scripts everyday. I bought this book speacial to create my own JS files and app. I just started reading it. and found that its quite interesting. It covers from basic to intermediate level. Its the fatest javascript book.

But I think its best for who is starting in JavaScript and want dive into HTML5 :) I can finally say, after geting lots of JS books, I found what I wanted.

I even got JavaScript: The Good Parts, but its not for beginners.

Its a Reference Book ..

Very good book.

It is kind of a reference book & goes in detail for each and every topic. This is not a book to learn JavaScript in a short period of time, if you are in a hurry to learn JS you look elsewhere. But you definitely need this book to understand the each feature in detail.

It has a good coverage of latest features of HTML5. Some of the new areas ( the standard is not finalized) are also covered (eg. IndexDB) with right details.

The Javascript Bible

I have read all the popular Javascript books, and this one is best by far. Most javascript books teach you enough to write a few lines in pure javascript before invariably falling back to jQuery library. This book teaches you enough so that you can write your own jQuery like library. Of course, you need to look into the source code of Gecko and webkit to do some real work, but that is a given anyway.

The best way to start learning JavaScript for beginners.

This book explains JavaScript concepts in detail. Anybody who buys this book should read it with dedication. I mastered JavaScript by reading this book. I was also able to make JavaScript powered web pages using knowledge I gained from this book. The best way to learn is to apply practically what we study from this book. I recommend this book.
