I had this site bookmarked for javascript. Hope you find it useful but then again google it should help you to find more of it.

AJAX is the next big thing in web development, so yes, brush up on your Javascript and XML skills - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX

Don't underestimate the power of javascript. There is a lot of good stuff out there but there's also a lot of "hello world" type dross. If you're serious about it, an excellent resource is JavaScript: The Definitive Guide. Online there's The Strange Zen of JavaScript and the legendary and incredibly useful QuirksMode.

http://www.javascript.com/ is a collection of copy and paste scripts, but it is interesting how some "problems" were approached by other people. You can learn a lot from analyzing javascripts coded by other people...

I can second that... Most people underestimnate the potential of JavaScript. The software company I have a contract with at the moment writes their whole player software in JavaScript. It is jaw dropping what the guys do with "just" JavaScript!
