1. Core JavaScript Guide
   JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language. JavaScript is a small, lightweight language; it is not useful as a standalone language, but is designed for easy embedding in other products and applications, such as web browsers. Inside a host environment, JavaScript can be connected to the objects of its environment to provide programmatic control over them. Core JavaScript contains a core set of objects, such as Array, Date, and Math, and a core set of language elements such as operators, control structures, and statements. for example: 
   * Client-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects to control a browser (Navigator or another web browser) and its Document Object Model (DOM). For example, client-side extensions allow an application to place elements on an HTML form and respond to user events such as mouse clicks, form input, and page navigation. 
   * Server-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects relevant to running JavaScript on a server. For example, server-side extensions allow an application to communicate with a relational database, provide continuity of information from one invocation to another of the application, or perform file manipulations on a server. 
                                    
2. Client-Side JavaScript Guide
   This book explains how to use core and client-side JavaScript for version 1.3. JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language for client and server applications. JavaScript version 1.3 provides the following new features and enhancements:
   * ECMA compliance. JavaScript 1.3 is fully compatible with ECMA-262. See "JavaScript and the ECMA Specification" on page 28. 
   * Unicode support. The Unicode character set can be used for all known encoding, and you can use the Unicode escape sequence in string literals.
   * New strict equality operators === and !==. The === (strict equal) operator returns true if the operands are equal and of the same type. The !== (strict not equal) operator returns true if the operands are not equal and/or not of the same type.
                       
   
3. WebReference JavaScript Articles
   JavaScript is an easy-to-use programming language that is common on Web pages. It can enhance the dynamics and interactive features of your site with small amounts of code. Ajax has taken the Web to a new level by offering an intuitive interactive model that rivals the desktop. To compete with desktop applications, you'll learn how to create database-enabled Ajax requests using PHP and MySQL. With JavaScript you can display and manipulate the date and time. You can calculate the days between dates, show new items on your Web site, etc. In this installment we'll take a look at the JavaScript Date() object and learn how to utilize it in our scripts.
                                                       
4. Learning JavaScript for Beginners
   Welcome to the Beginning JavaScript Class. Here you will learn how to jazz up your web pages with a little JavaScript. As you may have guessed, you have already experienced some of the power of JavaScript. This class is intended for you if you would like to go beyond what basic HTML has to offer and add some functionality to your site using JavaScript. If you are unsure as to what JavaScript can do for you and would like to know before you continue in this class, You do not need to be a programmer to learn JavaScript in this class. In fact, a programmer will probably get bored and never finish the class. This class is designed for someone that is comfortable writing HTML coding in a text editor. If you know the basic tags for HTML and can develop a page using a text editor.
                            
5. JavaScript Tutorial
   If you are developing client-side re-usable scripting objects, sooner or later you will find yourself spotting out memory leaks. Chances are that your browser will suck memory like a sponge and you will hardly be able to find a reason why your lovely DHTML navigation's responsiveness decreases severely after visiting a couple of pages within your site. In this article, we will review those patterns from a slightly different perspective and support it with diagrams and memory utilization graphs. We will also introduce several subtler leak scenarios. Before we begin, I strongly recommend you to read that article if you have not already read.
