Three years after the first edition of this book was released, there have been several advances in the techniques and technology of JavaScript in the browser. This Second Edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest versions of all web browsers. The book also introduces newer techniques and related technologies such as canvas, E4X, and JavaScript 2.0. Setting the stage by covering JavaScript in HTML, the book then explores the core of JavaScript, ECMAScript, to give you an understanding of the language's basic syntax, data types, statements, and memory management.

A thorough Javascript book. Good book to learn Javascript if used in concert with the http://www.codecademy.com lessons. The number of examples is a bit overwhelming since they are made up of literally hundreds of small samples. You can download these but I'm not sure how useful they are as a whole. I suppose if there was one or two particular things that you wanted to dig into then it might be useful.
