Oh, WordPress nuked the links because I put them inside less-than and greater-than signs.

Raphaël JS
This is a JavaScript drawing library that abstracts much of the syntax. People may find it useful; I haven’t played with it much, but I knew it existed for a while. Two advantages versus Canvas: it’s a vector drawing library, and it’s cross-browser compatible.

JavaScript: The Good Parts
This book by Douglas Crockford covers many of the specific language features of JavaScript that developers might otherwise miss because they treat JavaScript like C, Java, or whatever other language. It offers a lot of insight into how JavaScript objects work, how to do inheritance right, and loads more details. It’s not graphics-specific, but it really helped me gain a better appreciation and understanding of JavaScript as a programming language.
