Hey guys - Addy (author of this mini-book here). Although the current edition is very much targeted at beginners, I'm working on a significantly more detailed version this summer which will also be released for free.

To those who have mentioned some patterns are indeed better suited to 'classical' programming languages, I completely agree with you - the reason I've included a mention of them is so that developers who may not have read the book by GoF get a little historic exposure to why those patterns were defined and where they fit in.

There will be a lot more JavaScript-centric content in the next version with a little less focus on the traditional patterns.

I have to say, it's refreshing to see a Readability like template being used on a web page - no clutter of ads, sidebars, and other distractions.

Great job!

Could you link up every item in the table of contents and have more cross links in the text. I like reading things like this on my kindle (using the Readability chrome extension) and anything that makes it easier to navigate would be appreciated.
