Eloquent Javascript

JavaScript is one of the most common languages in use today; if you use a web browser, you'll be using it almost every time you open a web page. Many applications use it or a variant as a macro language (Adobe FrameMaker and other Adobe applications, for example).

Essential JavaScript is a free book about programming in JavaScript written by Marijn Haverbeke. I like it because, as well as giving a good overview of the language, it devotes several chapters to how browsers work with JavaScript. There's also a briefer section on node.js, another common interface to JavaScript.

You can read the book online, download it in several formats, or buy a paper version if you're a traditionalist.
