This book may be great for advanced programmers but it is really bad for beginners. The railroad diagrams are very unintuitive. Would examples have killed you?
The book is beyond terse with way too few examples and very poor explanation for beginners. Definitely don't get it if you're a beginner.
Mr. Crockford on the other hand has fantastic videos on the web with a wonderful energy to teach but seems to fall into the hole so many intellectuals do where they can't go back to step 1 and explain from there clearly.
He is a wonderful speaker though. Maybe we just need more of his great videos.
