They are all great talks, but please don't use "The Birth & Death of JavaScript" as an instruction manual!

In addition to the talks on his website, I also recommend watching "The Unix Chainsaw"[1]. It's a great introduction into using the full power of the unix shell as an interactive programming language.

Heretic. "The Birth & Death of JavaScript" is the Holy Bible of JavaScript. It contains everything from Genesis to Apocalipse. It contains all the good parts of JavaScript which matter.
