Ditto.
Cannot express my support of these books enough. They treat javascript
rationally from a beginner's stance, and have completely sober and
up-to-date wisdom of the context of javascript.
Both Chris Heilmann and PPK are experts leading the way javascript
should be used where the standardised community still wavers - they are
indispensable people.
A third person I would add to the list is Jeremy Keith
[http://domscripting.com/]. On his blog he really gets his teeth into
what the model really is and should be about and he's got solid views on
Ajax, but his book, 'DOM Scripting: Web design with Javascript and the
Document Object Model', is imperative for people who want to know what
javascript is all about from the ground up.

Barney
