Rating: - Very Authoritative
This "Bible" covers everything that is needed for JavaScript programming. Everything is very well written and very easy to understand with clear code examples and real world applications. The beginning tutorial is a great way to get beginners started then the more advanced topics are covered in the Book or on the CD with all of the examples listed on the CD as well.
This is a book that I will continue to use.

Definitively it's the javascript bible.
If you want to fine tune your AJAX apps you'd better buy this book.
It's extensive object and fuction reference does not leave anything in the shadows.
This book is worth every cent.
Rating: - Another nerd validates their own knowledge
An overwhelming amount of information without a simple beginning. The author jumps from beginning level information to way too sophisticated so fast that it will lose any non-technical person.
Rating: - Very comprehensive and useful
This is really a bible-level handbook of javascript. The contents are very comprehensive and look professional. The best thing is that the examples in each chapter really help understand the boring syntax and functions.
