Object-Oriented JavaScript
by
Stoyan Stefanov (Goodreads Author)
This book for beginning/intermediate JavaScript developers does not assume any prior knowledge of JavaScript. It introduces object-oriented programming and the basics of objects in JavaScript. It has a do-it-yourself approach to writing code, because writing code is the best way to really learn a programming language; it encourages readers to type code into Firebug's conso...more

I bought this book on the promise of its subtitle—specifically, that it would provide useful information regarding building a robust, custom JavaScript library for an enterprise. I was hoping that it would provide an ongoing example library that would be built up over the course of the book. No such luck. But, that doesn't mean it isn't a good book—just that the subtitle may be a little misleading. Stefanov does a good job of describing important JavaScript concepts such as prototype chaining, a...more
It's definitely one of the best dive into JavaScript books I've ever read. If you've just begun using JS there is no other book I would recommend.
It is a beginner/intermediate level book so if you are looking for something much more advanced it's not the perfect choice although there are some things that you might learn from reading it..

excellent for organized presentation of syntax; oo concepts; coverage of closures and patterns. Complaints: the pattern info was very brief and felt very rushed; more examples would have helped. Throughout, the examples were very brief but very pertinent to the point being explained. However if you don't immediately catch how something is working then you will have to search elsewhere.

Molto approfondito e completo+ soprattutto per quanto riguarda l'argomento proncipale: la OOP.
Forse un po' confuso il capitolo su DOM e BOM, ma viene comunque trattato in tutti gli altri manauali di Javascript. Volendo se ne sarebbe anche potuto fare a meno, se non fosse servito come ampia spiegazione del pattern observer.
Le appendici sono tanto utili che forse meriterebbero di essere un manualetto a parte.

This was my first OOP Javascript related book. I had to do with OOP javascript before and it was a bit difficult for me to understand the way it is achieved in this language.
This book cleared my questions and helped me dive into that great language.

Great introduction to object-oriented Javascript. If you're familiar with Javascript, you'll fly through the first bit, but it's a good build up to the basic concepts behind Javascript plugins and frameworks.
Absolutely the JavaScript book I recommend everyone read. Shows damned near every way of doing things like inheritance, lazy functions, encapsulation and more, but manages to be very enjoyable and accessible.
The first 1/3 of the book is kinda standard and can be skipped by most rather experienced programmers. Real fun comes after that, functions, closures, prototype ...
Another great book! Great author. Must read for every web (and not only) programmer
Must read for JavaScript devleopers
Pretty thorough overview of JavaScript and its object-oriented features. Covers some well-known design patterns, including ones from the "Gang of Four". I'd recommend it to anyone who's serious about the language.
I wish it didn't draw so much attention to trivial stuff, related to the language itself. Given the title, I was surprised to see that half of the book deals with "JavaScript 101". Nevertheless, the intermediate JS developers can easily skip the first chapters.
