Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it is not, throw it out the window.

JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford
is an excellent book. At 140+ pages this book is approachable and easy to read. The writing style is terse and clear, and it's crammed with good advice.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would like to give a copy away. You can read

I've got a JavaScript course coming up and this could be mighty helpful!

Jesse needs all the help he can get! Haha, just kidding. But seriously, if he does get it, I will be able to steal it when he's not using it, muahaha.

While Jesse needs all the help she can get, I'm cooler. haha
This would be a great book to have though.
And as with Devin, if anyone here so far gets it, I'm sure it will make its rounds.
