The Art & Science of JavaScript John Boone Book is well written and easy to read. Support from Sitepoint for their books is also good. I was able to apply my learning from this book quickly into my own web development.. Tommy Olsson said Artfully scientific. This is a very interesting book for anyone who is interested in going to the 'next level' of JavaScript. It's not a book for absolute beginners, but everything is very well explained without wasting time on trivia.The chapter on metaprogramming (self-modifying code) is my favourite. Not only because it presents some very useful ideas, but also because it finally made me understand how JavaScript does certain things under the bonnet.James Edward's Maze game is nothing short of a-maze-ing. It's a fine exam. "Ask Felgall - Book Review" according to Stephen Chapman. Each of the seven chapters in this book was written by a different author who provides you with an example project where they demonstrate some of the more advanced tasks that JavaScript can perform. Some of these projects are useful in themselves while others serve more to illustrate particular coding techniques but in all seven chapters you are presented with ways of using JavaScript that are not all that obvious to most JavaScript programmers.This book doesn't present JavaScript the way most people use
