JavaScript: The Definitive Guide - David Flanagan

Since the earliest days of Internet scripting, Web developers have considered JavaScript: ... more

The Definitive Guide an essential resource. David
Flanagan's approach, which combines tutorials and
examples with easy-to-use syntax guides and object
references, suits the typical programmer's
requirements nicely. The brand-new fourth edition
of Flanagan's "Rhino Book" includes coverage of
JavaScript 1.5, JScript 5.5, ECMAScript 3 and the
Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 standard from
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Interestingly, the author has shifted away from
specifying--as he did in earlier editions--what
browsers support each bit of the language. Rather
than say Netscape 3.0 supports the Image object
while Internet Explorer 3.0 does not, he specifies
that JavaScript 1.1 and JScript 3.0 support Image.
More usefully, he specifies the contents of
independent standards such as ECMAScript, which
encourages scripters to write applications for
these standards and browser vendors to support
them. As Flanagan says, JavaScript and its related
subjects are very complex in their pure forms.
It's impossible to keep track of the differences
among half a dozen vendors' generally similar
implementations. Nonetheless, a lot of examples
make reference to specific browsers' capabilities.
Though he does not cover server-side APIs,
Flanagan has chosen to separate coverage of core
JavaScript (all the keywords, general syntax and
utility objects such as Array) from coverage of
client-side JavaScript, which includes objects,
such as History and Event, that have to do with
Web browsers and users' interactions with them.
This approach makes this book useful to people
using JavaScript for applications other than Web
pages. By the way, the other classic JavaScript
text--Danny Goodman's JavaScript Bible--isn't as
current as this book, but it's still a fantastic
(and perhaps somewhat more novice-friendly) guide
to the JavaScript language and its capabilities.
--David Wall Topics covered: the JavaScript
language (version 1.0 through version 1.5) and its
relatives, JScript and ECMAScript, as well as the
W3C DOM standards they're often used to
manipulate. Tutorial sections show how to program
in JavaScript, while reference sections summarise
syntax and options while providing copious code
examples.

Advantages: covers almost everything, well organized
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

There are plenty of JavaScript books out there, but this is definitely one of the best. First of all it's O'Reilly and that means one thing, the best information for professional developers in almost every field of computer science programming.
The book is very well structured. In Part 1, Core JavaScript, you get a very detailed presentation of the language, including its advanced features such as closures. In Part 2, Client-Side JavaScript, ...
...The book also deals with JavaScript and XML, demonstrates how to use JavaScript serialize/deserialize objects into/from XML documents, how to do basic parsing It also introduces the E4X extension to the core JavaScript language.
