Reading how everyone doesn't know how to write javascript properly

Today I just did some more work on my pog website. In the evening I spent quite a bit of time reading a newsgroup discussion on why jQuery is rubbish (linked from Asking for opinions about scathing jQuery critique. Unfortunately, while David Mark often suggests that people should learn how to write javascript correctly, he doesn't say where you can learn. I read quite a bit of the Newsgroup thread, though not all of it, and the only things I saw suggested was to read the comp.lang.javascript messages (seems like a rather dis-jointed way to learn) and Peter Michaux's blog, probably easier to read than a load of newsgroup messages, but I would prefer a step-by-step book really.

Actually, I just had a look and saw the comp.lang.javascript FAQ, which suggests 2 books, but it seems that there's still of mistakes in them. Reading the thread that the "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide," 5th Edition, by David Flanagan was linked to, it seems the suggestion by the guy there who was pointing out some of the mistakes in the book, was to read the ECMAScript Specification. Not at the moment thanks!

I guess the FAQ probably has some useful info though, and I don't really have the time to read a 900 page on javascript at the moment anyway.
