For those looking to enhance their JavaScript skills, several resources are highly recommended. The Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) offers a comprehensive JavaScript Guide that serves as a valuable reference. Additionally, using tools like the Firebug add-on for Firefox can significantly aid in learning. "Eloquent JavaScript" is another notable resource, along with "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide," which is considered essential reading. Douglas Crockford's "JavaScript: The Good Parts" is highlighted for its insights into the language, emphasizing the importance of understanding both its strengths and pitfalls. These resources collectively provide a solid foundation for programmers already familiar with coding.

Any recommendations for some Javascript guide? For someone who already knows how to program.

Thanks!

Not a guide but learning is always helped with the right tools. If you're going to work with Javascript, make sure that you have https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ installed.
 
Eloquent JavaScript is helpful. I use it along with the JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (book).
 
Save yourself a lot of pain by reading "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford. Javascript is a wonderful language, with some parts in it that you'd be wise to avoid. Here it is on Amazon. It is now considered a classic by computer sci. folks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0596517742/?tag=pfamazon01-20
