impress other experts of the same level with its accuracy, but is
useless to those looking to climb the ladder.
I've not read it, but I've seen it recommended by others. If you can
make a better recommendation then please do. I know JS:TGP is not aimed
at total beginners, but that's why I thought it might be a good choice
for folks here. Scripters already familiar with AppleScript and/or other
languages only need a compact (~150pp) reference to JavaScript language
features so they can transfer their existing programming knowledge over
to it. They don't need waste time wading through some 1000-page doorstop
that tries to teach everything about programming concepts, the
JavaScript language, DOM, DHTML, jQuery, etc. completely from scratch.

Couldn't parse that line. Are you saying the JXA wiki is short on
pedagogical value or technical expertise?
