Your recommendation for a Javascript/html book?

Rforbes

Heya folks,

Would you mind listing your top recommendation for a javascript and/or html book? (printed form, not E-book)

I'm mainly looking for a good reference/learning guide for javascript, but one that has a lot of both js and html would be great too.

Looking through Barnes and Nobles shows 2000+ titles... I'm sure there's something good in that list but DANG that's a lot o' stuff to dig through. :nerd:

Thanks in advance!

I use online references. For me it's a lot easier and quicker. I usually need a reference when I'm in front of the computer writing the code.

O'Reilly books are good

I used the JavaScript Bible a while back but gave it to my buddy.

Ok, thanks Mike.

Will look into those. I like online reference material too, but there's a lot of time I don't have access to a computer. So a good old fashioned book comes in really handy. Especially for marking up, notes, etc.

Appreciate it!

I have JavaScript for the World Wide Web on my book self

It's an ok tutorial type read.

I don't use it any more. I can send it to you if you like.

Ah man, that's really generous of you. I appreciate it. But, I'll respectfully decline for now. I'm headin' out to experience the "Black Friday" shopping massacre in a few minutes and will poke around at the book stores. Mayhap you'll need your book again one day or find someone local who can use it. No need to waste money on postal services.

Later! (Wish me luck, I've never gone out in this silly madness before! Figured I might as well try it once in my lifetime! I've got a football helmet and decoys to deploy in case I get steam-rolled.)
