Javascript Pocket Reference
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007Javascript Pocket Reference has been many times more useful than books five times it's size and price. I keep it at work and I constantly have to hunt it down because someone else has borrowed it. It's an indispensable reference for web developers. Certainly a well spent 10 bucks; this ...
