Very useful, lots of gems

I'm a beginner/intermediate JS programmer and I found this book tremendously useful. I had to design a site for control and monitoring of an embedded device and this book more than paid for itself in the first few weeks. This is not for beginners, although I learned a great deal about the DOM and several JS browser-specific quirks simply by perusing the various "recipes". I would recommend that beginners start with a tutorial-style book first or some of the free online stuff, such as [...] and then get this book. If you use only a few of the recipes and it saves you time, its more than worth the price.
