I'm shocked nobody's recommended Douglas Crockford's ... well ... everything:

Watch the "Javascript: The Good Parts" presentation:

Also check out Dustin Diaz's stuff:

I found his screencasts where you watch him program to be incredibly helpful:

Start your javascript programming with jQuery. Good javascript style is not at all like Java, so forget everything you know about Java and see how jQuery does it.

JavaScript 1.6 added seven new array methods (indexOf, lastIndexOf, every, filter, forEach, map, and some). If only backward compatibility weren't a problem, the warring JavaScript libraries could just use these (or implement them into the prototype like Sugar Arrays, http://www.dustindiaz.com/sugar-arrays/) instead of creating their own quirky methods.
