I started trying to read Javascript the Good Parts last night. The guy who wrote it seems to have an incredibly deep understanding of the subject material. Unfortunately, it is written in a heavily jargonized fashion and is sparing with examples. Another thing I didn't like was the author's use of railroad tracks in order to explain legal syntax. Of course, I'm the least visual person in the world. If you're an engineer who likes looking at circuit boards, then this book is probably great for you. If you like lots of concrete examples and to be frequently reminded of stuff...then def not! There's a copy online here: https://www.hasustorm.com/books/English/OReilly.JavaScript.The.Good.Parts.May.2008.chm
