This is the third edition of JavaScript Step by Step, but readers needs not worry about whether it's Microsoft-centric. It's not and the author is very quick to point that out.

A Microsoft book. Probably, the first Microsoft book I've ever read. Leaving aside what I feel about Microsoft, I've been pretty impressed by this book. Even if it is a Microsoft production, sometimes you can see examples with Ecplise (a free software IDE) and I really enjoyed this. Full Review  >
