Ever since I first began creating on the web my passion for web development has grown. Thus I believe Javascript is the best language to specialize in. Any advice to further my knowledge in the language? Books to read? Articles? Certificates I should pursue?
do not use w3school ressources (they are wrong in critical cases) see http://w3fools.com/
and the most critical tip if you really want to get serious about javascript: learn other programming languages as well, then revisit javascript. one language can never be enough. take the learnings from other languages and apply them to javascript.
oh yeah and: do not seek cross browser compatibility. it's frustrating. (after you are good it will work cross browser anyway (excluding IE)).
