In summary, there are several recommendations for learning Javascript for those who already know how to program. These include using resources such as Mozilla Developer Network, Eloquent JavaScript, and the book "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide." It is also advised to read "JavaScript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford to avoid potential pitfalls in the language.

Not a guide but learning is always helped with the right tools. If you're going to work with Javascript, make sure that you have https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ installed.

Eloquent JavaScript is helpful. I use it along with the JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (book).

Save yourself a lot of pain by reading "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford. Javascript is a wonderful language, with some parts in it that you'd be wise to avoid. Here it is on Amazon. It is now considered a classic by computer sci. folks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0596517742/?tag=pfamazon01-20
