Best book on JavaScript?

[Narz]

Ok, I have this online game I'm working on. Only the thing is, I'm not really working on it because I don't understand my own code (I have someone else doing the coding). I've been lazy about this for a long time but I think its high time I really learned JavaScript (I want to learn more from there but I want to start with JS since thats what the game is in so far).

Can anyone recommend any excellent books on the subject?

Thanks!

I can't reccommend any particular books, but there are plenty of online tutorials you can refer to.

These are for Java - http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ or a more indepth version of that: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html

These are for JavaScript - http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/JavaScript/Tutorial/

http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp - one of the best.

Or just do a google search for "JavaScript Tutorial" and you'll get hundreds of results.

There are links to resources and a good guide here.

Javascript Bible is the best all purpose reference in my opinion.

But you'll also need a book more based on tuturials if you're just learning, or else some online tutorials.

I like the O'Reilly books in general. If you have a basic understanding of programming languages, they are very fine.
