I absolutely agree - do you know of any good resources for learning JavaScript as a language? Most books are targeted at using it to add whiz-bang stuff to web sites.

I've found that http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/e54i9/what_is_cu... is worth a read for book recommendations. Most of them are on Safari too :-)

Rebecca Murphey's jQuery Fundamentals is awesome (and free!) too once you get onto jQuery: http://jqfundamentals.com/book/book.html

And I know you already know about this, but posting for the benefit of others, but.. http://javascriptweekly.com/ ;-)
