Ask YC: decent JavaScript resource and reference sites?

I'm looking for some comprehensive JavaScript resource and reference sites - I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.



See this is what I like about this community, I was going to ask the very same thing. Thanks, much appreciated.



I could not agree more.

The web has lots of practical examples and API documentation, but it's fragmented information. This book gives you a thorough, cohesive understanding of the language.


I had rhino book but things got better when I read

http://www.amazon.com/Professional-JavaScript-Developers-Wro...


Basics of everything you need:

http://www.hunlock.com/

Interactive tutorial:

http://eloquentjavascript.net/

Print version:

My reference for this kind of stuff is http://w3schools.com , a bit light on examples, but a good reference if you just need to know the syntax.



Mozilla also has pages covering the features in Javascript 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8


It is embarrassing to have to admit that I'm only halfway through a book as compact as JavaScript: The Good Parts. But so far it is a very good book.

There's a veritable wealth of info over at http://developer.yahoo.com/

The Web Developers Handbook is also pretty useful http://www.alvit.de/handbook/index.php


read John Resig's blog ejohn.org, he's also the creator of JQuery.

Wow! Thanks!!


QuirksMode offers a lot of help, especially on tricky cross browser issues. http://www.quirksmode.org/js/contents.html
