Mike, I have avoided spending on books for a couple of years. I thought I could learn from the web. Now I have a book - JavaScript the missing manual [1] - and it is starting to make sense. The book quickly goes goes off into extolling the use of jQuery. I am hedging that this learning route will be most productive as my knowledge of javascript and jQuery synchronize in the near future when TW becomes increasingly jQuery-like.
While considering which javascript book to buy, I spent rather long time reading another book in the bookshop , Javascript ; the good parts[2]. I didn't buy it, but a couple of days later thought that I would return to get it - it was sold out; clearly not a scientific measure of the quality of the book. Its a thin book, and written in a really nice tone. My time with it, although brief, gave me an overview and removed some fear.
