JavaScript resources

For many iViewer users, JavaScript is new and maybe not very well understood. We have compiled a list of resources we found useful for ourselves, and that you may want to use:

Online references:

Among all existing sites, Mozilla's JavaScript Dev Center is certainly the most useful while writing JavaScript code. It's a very well organized reference on the language itself, and on the built-in objects and functions it provides.

• Mozilla's JavaScript Dev Center: The most usable JavaScript reference. A must-read.
• Essential JavaScript Patterns
• JavaScript Garden: a compilation of tips and best practices
• JavaScript gotchas: a collection of gotchas for developers new to the language

There are sites specialized in learning the language itself:

• CodeCademy
• Learn JavaScript

Books:

• JavaScript: The Definitive Guide: a book by David Flanagan covering all aspects of JavaScript and gives a good introduction to the language.
• JavaScript: The Good Parts: a book by Douglas Crockford that details the good and bad parts of the JavaScript language, and gives a set of recommandations.
