O'Reilly Media, 2004 No need to think, buy it!!! I tried reading other books on the same topic before but I gave up finally after sometime.

I did buy a slightly outdated version, which was why it was under $6 (including shipping), but the basics are there. Beginner programmers: This book is perfect. Though it doesn't have all the humor of a "For Dummies" book, it's not dry reading (IMHO). Expert programmers: Don't buy this book for yourself; it's a little long-winded. You'll learn the language, but you'll ...              search for books community, companion, confessions, creating, definitive, digital, discriminating, downloaders, dynamic, edition, elements, essential, including, javascript, learning, marketing, patterns, photoshop, presentations, professionals, quickbooks, resource, science, software, software-including, speaker, step-by-step, technology, websites, windows books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
