		Ask HN: Books or online sources to learn Javascript?

		I am learning Javascript for work but do not have a programming background. I was hoping for some suggestions on books or online sources for a beginner. Thanks for the help.

This is the site I wish I had know about when I started to learn JavaScript: http://eloquentjavascript.net/

It's all online and free. There's also a nifty firebug-like console at the bottom of the page.
