Reading - JavaScript: The Good Parts
I finished reading "JavaScript: The Good Parts" the other day. I read it cover to cover, in a linear fashion and I would say it has been highly rewarding. Now, when I say that, "I finished it," what I really mean is that I am finished building a mental index of the material, with a lightweight context that will help in JavaScript development. A few parts of the language, inheritance for example, have such subtle specifics that it will take a bit more practice before I can say that I have remastered the language and no longer need to reference the book. The best reason to read this particular text is the in-depth analysis of the languages features and suggested reasons to or not to use each.
