The Third Edition!
Several things have been updated in this book. First, the text in general has been updated due to changes in the Internet and web development since the
last edition. I have also dropped a few items that are outdated (such as hiding scripts from older browsers) and expanded coverage of topics like the Document Object Model. I think this book is even better than the last edition, and it is my hope it will help take your JavaScript to a new level.

От себя: книга отличнейшая, "разжевываются" многие неочевидные вещи, не говоря уже об отличнейшем красочном оформлении!
+++
This book is targeted at intermediate JavaScript developers who want to take their JavaScript skills to the next level without sacrificing web accessibility or best practice. If you’ve never written a line of JavaScript before, this probably isn’t the right book for you—some of the logic in the later chapters can get a little hairy.
If you have only a small amount of experience with JavaScript, but are comfortable enough programming
in another language such as PHP or Java, you’ll be just fine—we’ll hold your hand along the way, and all of the code is available for you to download and experiment with on your own. And if you’re an experienced JavaScript developer, we would be very, very surprised if you didn’t learn a thing or two. In fact, if you only learn a thing or two, you should contact us here at SitePoint—we may have a book project for you to tackle!

Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole-a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code. Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables. When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language.
If you develop sites or applications for the Web, this book is an absolute must.
