The Javascript Pocket Reference is one of the few reference books I keep on my desk, as opposed to on a bookshelf in another room. It doesn't provide for interesting reading or any extensive insight into the language, but instead it just gives you the answer to your Javascript question. As a Java developer, when it comes time for Javascript I do my best to rely on frameworks like Prototpye or jQuery, but when those prove too sophisticated for the task at hand, I usually end up picking up the pocket reference before I've finished the task at hand. The Pocket Reference's strength is it's size. Small to the point where there isn't room for vague, ambiguous explanations. The answer is either there or not and it doesn't take long to figure it out. |
