Where do I find a good explanation of Javascript-ese [closed]

Question

I realize that title may require explanation.

The language I first learned was C, and it shows in all my programs... even those not written in C. For example, when I first learned F# I wrote my F# programs like C programs. It wasn't until someone explained the pipe operator and mapping with anonymous functions that I started to understand the F#-ese, how to write F# like a F# programmer and not a C programmer.

Now I've written a little javascript, mostly basic stuff using jquery, but I was hoping there was a good resource where I could learn to write javascript programs like a javascript programmer.

Douglas Crockford's - Code Conventions for the JavaScript Programming Language would be a good place to start.

I learned a lot of useful information in regards to code convention through his video tutorials, which I suggest viewing. I posted the link to the first video out of the four in the series.

Also, as suggested by Ben, (which is a book I would also highly recommend) is Douglas Crockford's book JavaScript: The Good Parts
