The Ultimate JavaScript book for the modern Web Developer!

Category: — NovoGeek @ 01:31
I was lucky to get a copy of the book Pro Javascript Techniques written by my hero, John Resig.
Initially, I thought it is just another routine book on javascript. But believe me, the first few pages of it will change ur notion of javascript from a mere validation stuff to a gr8 programming force of the web!
