There's nothing as canonical for js as K&R was for C. My guess is that it's just changing a little too fast. If you want raw unassailable reference docs (to learn js from the ground floor in comprehensive detail) you can't go wrong reading the standards: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecm... http://es5.github.io/ http://es5.github.io/ The rest you kinda gotta cull from various resources. learn.jquery.com is nice and Mozilla kicks ass, as usual: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... Information about ES6 generators and other stuff coming down the pipe seems to be scattered all over the place. Best resource I've found seems to be this one: http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html Though promisejs.org and promisesaplus.com are worth browsing.
