Eloquent JavaScript: An opinionated guide to programming
Eloquent JavaScript is a hyper-book providing a comprehensive introduction to the JavaScript programming language. Apart from a bookful of text, it contains plenty of example programs, and an environment to try them out and play with them.
The book is aimed at the beginning programmer ? people with prior programming experience might also get something out of it, but they should not read chapters 2 to 5 too closely, because most of the concepts discussed there will probably be nothing new to them. Do make sure you read the end of the first chapter, which has some essential information about the book itself.

Nasal: Not another scripting language!
Another neat little programming language: very small, very simple but still rather complete. Somewhat like javascript in flavor, with functional programming and OO features. Designed to be easily embeddable as an extension language for applications.
