The thick book documents the use of
JavaScript in browsers, which is a big, ugly,
hairy problem because of browser vendors, not
because of the language. The little book
talks about JavaScript itself, and even then
only some of it.
Suggesting only a little bit of JavaScript is
good because that book about
JavaScript-and-DOM-in-browsers is too thick
is pure troll.
Unless you're only trying to be funny, in
which case.. lol?

Crockford is such a wonderfully concise writer. Sorry if that ruins the joke.

I imagine that's the case with most languages.

At 1032 pages ... it's not a bed time read but if u want to know all about Javascript then this is the book. Worth having on the reference shelf.

At least there are good parts.... unlike a few geek-popular languages that I've used/been abused by over the decades.... (*cough*
