Default Good Nooby Javascript Book
In my Compsci 2 class in school i'm kinda the slow one when it comes to learning javascript and i'm having a bit of trouble with it it just sometimes does not make sense to me. i was wondering if there are any good books to read. I'm currently reading

Amazon.com: The Book of javascript<b></b>: A Practical...Amazon.com: The Book of javascript: A Practical...
But that book is published in 2000 and is WAY out of date so i'm thinking to pick up

Amazon.com: The Book of JavaScript, 2nd Edition:...Amazon.com: The Book of JavaScript, 2nd Edition:...
Becasue i like the format of these books. Any other ideas for me to begin with

Please don't laugh at me

I am sure they are quality books.

To be honest if you can use those books to get a foothold in JS and learn the basics then you can move on to just about any book to continue learning, even internet resources (w3schools I highly recommend).

This might sound pointless, but I learned JS from w3 and random websites with a little help from people I know, so I am very little help when it comes to books.

Is this the first scripting/programming language you have learned?

I have recently fallen in love with the Head First programming books. By FAR the best ones out there imo - I use the C# one all the time!
