review 1: For me JavaScript in the book's title is somehow misleading. This is because usually, in web applications along with JavaScript, take part also HTML and CSS. Thought JavaScript exists in contents it is observed as a building block of some libraries, like jQuery, Node.js (to mention more popular).If one is interested in JavaScript itself this is not the right book. If it is interested in JavaScript based technologies (patters, libraries, etc.) involved in today web applications this might be a book of interest.
review 2: Love this book - I have a background in Flex and all I really care about here is how and why to structure a javascript application and some background into some of the architectural decisions that were made along the way. After reading this book
... more, I had a really nice background on many of the common JS MVC frameworks (aka...the way of the future). While the "Bible" aka "Javascript: The Definitive Guide" seems to be very popular, I liked this book much more as a resource. less

Very useful book. I particularly like CSS3 reference at the end - it's compact, but yet powerfull.

Actually this book is too hard for me by now, but I should write more JavaScript.
