Please forgive me for being off topic. To lessen the nuisance please
answer me off-list.
I have been assigned to work with DOM Scripting courses for higher
education by the Web Standards Project EduTF. I am looking for three things:
Writings (and talks/slides/blog posts) about ES 4 from a pedagogic
perspective. (The reason I am addressing this list.)
Writings about current and future ECMAScript (and the DOM) from a
computer science perspective. (Quite hard to find actually.)
Opinions about a few books I have not read myself:
a. Are they teaching best practice, unobtrusive "DOM-scripting"?
b. Are they targeted at newbies, intermediate or advanced developers?

BTW if you want yto help me with question 3, the books are:
Ajax: The Definitive Guide (Anthony T. Holdener III, O'Reilly, 2008)
Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices (Shawn M. Lauriat,
Prentice Hall, 2007)
Enterprise AJAX: Strategies for Building High Performance Web
Applications (David W. Johnson, Alexei White and Andre Charland,
Prentice Hall, 2007)
Understanding AJAX: Using JavaScript to Create Rich Internet
Applications (Joshua Eichorn, Prentice Hall, 2006)
Ajax for Web Application Developers (Kris Hadlock, Sams, 2006)

BTW if you want yto help me with question 3, the books are:
* Learning JavaScript (Shelley Powers, O'Reilly, 2006)
* Head First JavaScript (Michael Morrison, O'Reilly, 2008)
* Beginning JavaScript (Programmer to Programmer) (Paul Wilton and
Jeremy McPeak, Wrox, 2007) Smells dubious from its table of contents but
- as I've said - comments are welcome
* JavaScript(TM) Step by Step (Steve Suehring, Microsoft Press, 2008)
Late publication date, but is the author really a web developer?
* Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript in 24 Hours, 4th Edition (Michael
Moncur, Sams, 2006)
* Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Professional Guides)
(Nikolas Zakas, Wrox, 2005)
* Practical JavaScript, DOM Scripting and Ajax Projects (Frank Zammetti,
APress, 2007)
AJAX specific books.
* Adding Ajax (Shelley Powers, O'Reilly, 2007)
* Unobtrusive Ajax (Short Cut series) (Jesse Skinner, O'Reilly, 2007)
* Head First Ajax (Rebecca M. Riordan, O'Reilly, 2008) Will be published
in July
* Ajax Design Patterns (O'Reilly, 2006) Maybe better in DS 3 ?
* Ajax: The Definitive Guide (Anthony T. Holdener III, O'Reilly, 2008)
* Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices (Shawn M. Lauriat,
Prentice Hall, 2007)
