The chapters from 13 on are great for anyone as an intro to how JS interacts with the browser.

I agree with the other commenters that the early chapters would probably move a little slow for an experience programmer, though it is beautifully written and the interactive snippets are great, so you might still enjoy it if you don't mind skimming. Or if you know some languages but only have a few years of experience I would say beginner intros to new languages are still good. Eloquent JavaScript is a really nice overview of clean programming style in JS as well as the language itself.
