I've not read those, but I can recommend Stuar Langridge's excellent "DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design using JavaScript and DOM" (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/dhtml1/) which covers pretty much all aspects of modern JavaScript development. And, what's more, stresses the use of unobtrusive JavaScript - which helps greatly in keeping documents clear of ugly code.
Definitely worth a read, I think.

Hi all, I hope this question isn't off topic... I've discovered two quite recent books about JavaScript with a special emphasis on advanced event handling with DOM Level 2 and its use both for separating behaviours from markup and building dynamic web applications using remote scripting techniques / AJAX. I was wondering if someone had already seen/read them and could provide a quick commentary, namely about which one would be preferable (if any) or if acquiring both would be a good choice for complementarity... The books are: *Beginning MySQL (Programmer to Programmer)* - Robert Sheldon *Professional JavaScript for Web Developers* - Nicholas C. Zakas Thanks!
