John Guthrie at JavaLobbyPretty darned definitive Plenty of useful examples, including counter-examples Shows how to migrate existing code, not just start from scratch Scriptaculous labs are excellent, and are available for download Okay, all the labs are excellent JavaScript haters beware! Prototype, Scriptaculous, and yes, this excellent book about these two JavaScript libraries, could change your mind. After reading Prototype and Scriptaculous In Action, you are in danger of saying to yourself, "Hey, I'd like to try some of this stuff out," and, before you even realize it, you're writing JavaScript, getting stuff done, and maybe even enjoying it.
This book should rightly be considered the bible of Prototype and Scriptaculous. Just download and run the source code for the book (available online for free), for a real taste of what this book offers.

A good solid intro. ... There is fantastically useful stuff about JavaScript itself as well as Prototype; for example the section of function contexts and closures is one of the best I have read on the subject.
