Thau's JavaScript Tutorial
This is the tutorial that I used throughout most of my JavaScript learning sessions. It covers programming basics well before going into specific functions, so it works well for me. I've looked at some of the advanced topics, but haven't delved into material about JavaScript cookies and the interaction between JavaScript and framed pages (since I'm not too thrilled about designing framed pages).

JavaScript Tutorial for Programmers
While this tutorial claims to be tailor-made for programmers, it still gives more emphasis to programming fundamentals such as loops and if-then statements than other "beginner" JavaScript tutorials do. I've read this tutorial in tandem with Thau's to get a better sense of what JavaScript is all about.

The JavaScript Source
Contains free source-code to various JavaScript programs. Whenever I'm stuck on writing a program, I look to this site for inspiration. However, I never copy and paste the source code directly into my programs - everything I make is original!

Netscape Client-Side JavaScript Guide
Netscape's JavaScript specifications manual is a great help for me when I have to look up obscure functions and values such as the Math() object (used for rounding off numbers, making random numbers and trigonometry).
