Javascript the good parts is too advanced for starting. A good one is Professional Javascript for Web Developers, 3rd ed. Also take a look at this guide:

8,099 PointsI've been reading Dom Scripting, which is quite useful for web-focused Javascript use.

Courses Plus Student 17,771 PointsIf you prefer the hard-copy book approach: <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jquery1/">Novice to Ninja is great</a>, otherwise James' suggestions are stellar. http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jquery1/
