I would of course add "The good parts" by Crockford to the list.

But maybe that is just par for the language course, before one even starts to wants to master Engineering :)

JavaScript: The Good Parts - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596517742/ref=as_li_ss_tl?...

Here's a few other good ones:

Functional JavaScript: Introducing Functional Programming with Underscore.js - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1449360726/ref=as_li_ss_tl?...

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193398869X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?...

Javascript Allongé (free to read online) - https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge

Javascript Spessore (free to read online, but currently work in progress) - https://leanpub.com/javascript-spessore

Here's a good one about Angular, my favorite framework:

I would of course also recommend the Egghead videos for any Angular aficionados: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP6DbQBkn9ymGQh2qpk9Im...

No one should do anything serious without having read Doug Crockford's Javascript: the good parts. There is a nice OO -language hiding in the closet.

I just bought Mastering Web Application Development with AngularJS which is also for sale on Amazon and has pretty decent reviews there: http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Web-Application-Development-...

Turns out, you get a discount for print books if you own the e-book, I got 50% off after going back to the site once I bought the e-book: €17,50 instead of €34,99

So... €21,88 for both instead of €34,99 (you always get the e-book free if you buy the print version it seems).

myth_drannon
Yeah, I just came here to post the same! The problem is I don't want to buy print right after I bought the ebook.... I want to read it a bit first . I hope they keep the sale at least for a week.
