Javascript

I'm after a JavaScript book anyone have any recommendations, I'll be using it with PHP not asp if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Just thought I'd toss my $.02 in. I had a JavaScript book but I ended up learning much more from W3Schools.com. I'd give it a look or at least bookmark it as it's a great reference.

Ok what about AJAX books?

Well Ajax is just an async call back to your server using plain old JavaScript. To learn Ajax you just need to know what the XmlHttp object is and how to use it in JavaScript and you're good to go.

Ajax books, IMO, are useless since Ajax only comprises one object in JavaScript. Now if it covered additional JavaScript methods then great but I would lean towards W3CSchools again :)

Javascript is something you learn as you use - you need to do something on a page somewhere, you reference something, you pick something up, learn from that, apply it elsewhere, and so on.

Same for AJAX, go through tutorials, but to be honest I don't see the need for a book. Personal preference. And kasracer agrees, how could we be wrong?
