100%. No one dislikes progress, but the JavaScript world is really something else. I have Flanagan's "JavaScript: the definitive guide" 6th edition (that '6' is already a red flag), which predates so many changes in the language that it's essentially an expensive doorstop now. I think of all my technical books probably only the COM and J2EE ones have aged as badly, and yet I bought the Flanagan far more recently than any of those hoary old tomes.
