Have you ever felt lost in the JavaScript jungle? If so, you are in the right place. The purpose of this guide is to provide you with sharp implements that help you survive and perhaps thrive even. Even seasoned JavaScript explorers might find a trick or two to apply in practice.
As it is very possible I have not reached omnipotence yet, I encourage you to submit issues. This way we can make the guide to serve you better.
I am well aware there are other excellent resources out there. Of these I would like to mention Eloquent JavaScript and JavaScript Garden in particular. I have listed various beginner's resources over at JSwiki, the predecessor of JSter.
