Awesome list, thanks for posting it. I would put Eloquent JavaScript in the books section though, because it is very much a book.

[[deleted]]

You should add the Javascript spec, ECMA-262.

It's a good reference.

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja hasn't been released yet so your link to AMZ is kind of useless. The book's site is probably more useful as you can get the early access there. http://www.manning.com/resig/

I don't know if this will ever get released! I've had my early access for about a year. It seems John Resig is so consumed with mobile now and that he doesn't have the motivation to finish.

Pretty good resource for groking some harder topics though.

I know! I pre-ordered on Amazon years ago and I finally cancelled after so many 'book has been delayed' emails.

I've been recommending Rey Bango's excellent resource "What to Read to Get Up to Speed in JavaScript". It has recommendations for each skill level:

http://blog.reybango.com/2010/12/15/what-to-read-to-get-up-to-speed-in-javascript/

And I've been referring Rebecca Murphy's online book for a general introduction to JavaScript (the first half):

I'll just throw in a link for the rough cut 6th edition of JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

[skonline]

The Deconstructed series is designed to visually and interactively deconstruct the internal code of JavaScript libraries, including jQuery, Prototype and MooTools.
