I know it might be a little hard to believe, but I know next to nothing about Javascript. I’ve survived with using commonly-used or other peoples’ scripts to get by.
I’ve also noted that in many jobs that I have applied for in the past couple of months require a working knowledge of Javascript.
Put one and one together, and… well, I signed up for a distance learning class in Javascript last night as a late add, and now I have been cramming all night to make tomorrow’s deadline for the first batch of assignments. Oy.
I hope that this strengthens my geek cred just a little bit more. ^_^;;
Hi… I checked out your post from http://www.littleyellowdifferent.com.
At my last job I was known for being pretty good at JavaScript. Actually the best out of 5 developers.
Are you impressed yet?
Anyway, I got started with one of the best tutorials out there.
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/javascript/tutorials/tutorial1.html
Thau, the creator of the tutorial, also wrote a book on JS. Very good as well. But the online tutorial will get you pretty far. And once you’ve mastered the basics, go to http://www.devguru.com, and look at their Online JavaScript Language Reference. Also very good.
Hope this helps…
