JavaScript is a great language, like C# and Actionscript it is based on the EMCA script standard. Being a web developer there are many times when a little JavaScript comes in very handy to enhance the user experience.
"JavaScript Garden is a growing collection of documentation about the most quirky parts of the JavaScript programming language. It gives advice to avoid common mistakes, subtle bugs, as well as performance issues and bad practices that non-expert JavaScript programmers may encounter on their endeavours into the depths of the language."

"$script.js: an asynchronous JavaScript loader and dependency manager with an astonishingly impressive lightweight footprint of only 643 BYTES! (yes, you read that correctly). Like many other script loaders, $script.js allows you to load script resources on-demand from any URL and not block other resources from loading (like CSS and images). Furthermore, it’s unique interface allows developers to work easily with even the most complicated dependencies, which can often be the case for large, complex web applications." -Dustin Diaz @ded
"It's often stated that JavaScript is a special-purpose language, designed for use by web sites to enable dynamic interaction. However, JavaScript is a full object-oriented programming language, and is used in arenas besides the Web. [...]
This article sets out to implement the basis for a GameBoy emulation, by laying the groundwork for emulating each part of the physical machine. The starting point is the CPU."
"Google provides several tools for posting content to Buzz. In particular, the “Post to Buzz” button gives site administrators and developers a simple, powerful mechanism to share links and start conversations around content. In addition to the code generation tools, the Buzz API includes a hyperlink API and a JavaScript API for developers to work with. There is also a simple “Follow on Buzz” button that can be placed on pages to advertise a Buzz activity stream."
"Jison generates bottom-up parsers in JavaScript. Its API is similar to Bison's, hence the name. It supports many of Bison's major features, plus some of its own. If you are new to parser generators such as Bison, and Context-free Grammars in general, a good introduction is found in the Bison manual. If you already know Bison, Jison should be easy to pickup."

"Closure Templates are a client- and server-side templating system that helps you dynamically build reusable HTML and UI elements. They have a simple syntax that is natural for programmers, and you can customize them to fit your application's needs. In contrast to traditional templating systems, in which you must create one monolithic template per page, you can think of Closure Templates as small components that you compose to form your user interface. You can also use the built-in message support to easily localize your applications."
"The Closure Library is a broad, well-tested, modular, and cross-browser JavaScript library. You can pull just what you need from a large set of reusable UI widgets and controls, and from lower-level utilities for DOM manipulation, server communication, animation, data structures, unit testing, rich-text editing, and more."
