No need to spend a lot of money on books. The Web is chock-full of
resources -- gobs of free, existing JavaScript code (why reinvent the
wheel?), tutorials and examples, freeware and shareware tools, and complete
reference materials.

Check out the tools and tutorials at: http://www.gatescript.com/

Sitepoint has lots of stuff, including some good "JavaScript 101" articles;
check the list at: http://www.webmasterbase.com/subcats/72

Another good source of information, including a good primer:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/

And, for reference information, try: http://webref.info/default.asp

HTH!
