It depends on how narrowly one defines "documentation" and what one means by "best."

I.e. there's probably a book on Visual Basic that's a good fit for just about anyone's level of interest and programming experience...assuming of course that one has an interest in Visual Basic.

On the other hand, K&R is a concise and well written.

Yet one has an inexhaustible supply of JavaScript examples only an F12 away.

When you answer, you get to define the scope.
