JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

David Flanagan

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006

Almost Too Thorough. Not the best Choice for Beginners/Creatives

A better title for this might be: "Ways to ingratiate yourself with white people and get free stuff from them by knowing how to manipulate them through the 150 things they like most." OK, I have to admit I laughed at this (#103), even though I don't like Sarah ...
