While looking for resources for learning Javascript I ran across a great series by Alex Young at dailyjs.com called "Let's Make a Framework." In it, he creates a framework deliberately designed for learning Javascript and frameworks called turing.js.
On the second post, Let's Make a Framework: Classes, Inheritance, Extend he mentions Douglas Crockford's excellent discussion of the classical and prototypal inheritance models.
These are really great references for someone learning Javascript and why the language is the way it is. There is a long and dramatic history to Javascript. It's been tested by fire and made stronger for it. I think I'm going to really enjoy learning it.
