5.0 out of 5 stars One of the three most important Javascript books for your library, October 7, 2009
By Anthony Knape "Anthony" (nowhere in Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja (Paperback)
If you need this book now, go to [...] and order it from the Manning Early Access Program.
Thirteen chapters are completed. This is a must own book for professionals. Also consider Object-oriented Javascript and Pro Javascript Design Patterns.

If you are bewildered by Javascript libraries, this book takes you to a deeper understanding and sense of independence from cut, paste and hope it works. You can pick any 5 consequtive pages at random and those pages alone are worth the purchase price. As a resource for anyone that has wasted over 100 hours debugging javascript this book is an invaluable resource.
