I was under the impression that JavaScript: The Good Parts was directed more at people who are currently developers. Was I mistaken? They are just making the logical progression from doing straight HTML to doing HTML & Javascript.

That book is oriented at the language itself. My philosophy is to get new folks started with the best info currently available. Most people who dabble in javascript get confused and frustrated because they don't have a foundational understanding of the language itself. Do a search on Twitter for 'javascript' and you'll see this demonstrated every couple of minutes. Remember, DOM API's are not javascript. They are simply program-level API's that make browser features available to the language.
