When I was assigned a task to use the Yahoo! User Interface libraries, YUI library, my perspective and knowledge of Javascript shifted for the better. For the first time in my life I know Javascript. For the first time in my life, I can program well in Javascript. Read these well written articles about Javascript and his YUI's blog comments and you get what I mean. Personally, this is my "Thinking Javascript".

Doesn't it also relate to AJAX more or less? Instead of just Javascript.

For the YUI part, yes. It is more to AJAX. If my earlier statements lead you in the wrong direction, my bad. My original intention was for web developer out there to be aware that there has been so many improvement into the way we should write our JavaScript. It is important to be aware of the latest trends - unobtrusive scripts. It is important to know what methods are deprecated and what replaced them currently. The website I gave explains basic fundamentals about how the right way we should think JavaScript. If we do not have this idea in the first place, it is going to be hard. YUI is an advanced library that uses these fundamentals and it is a huge bonus if anyone can grasp it earlier. Not only YUI but other libraries too such as Prototype, Dojo, JQuery etc. No more we should look JavaScript as a script for kids. Take a look at http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/07/11/...-is-too-simple/ to see the evolution.
