I am but an egg, but . . . "Test Driven JavaScript Development", Chris Johansen, might serve. Not many exercises, but it walks through some of the core JavaScript principles, using tests as a learning / exploring device. "Here's a test showing how the << this >> keyword works." It also walks through several examples of test driven development, touching on design principles as it goes. It does a great job of walking through the practicalities forcing some design choices, and the implications of the alternatives. I came away from this with a much better grasp of JavaScript, development process, and design principles generally. I don't think I've gotten more from any single book. But I'm a newbie still trying to learn these things. More experienced folks may find the book tiresome.
