Good sites to learn javascript

When you started learing javascript which sites did you use to learn the language?

I can't remember what I looked at when I started... but certainly here are some good resources:

Doug Crockford on JavaScript: http://yuiblog.com/crockford/ (His book might also be worth reading: "JavaScript: The good parts")
Of course there is Sitepoint's "Simply JavaScript" book
The MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) has a bunch of resources on their Learning JavaScript page
And of course, Google is your friend

I just came across Eloquent JavaScript which looks like it would be a good starting point also.

That is a good one. We have a collection of links in the Links & Resources thread, which is stickied at the start of the JavaScript forums.
