Javascript Tutorial...

klarth · 03-15-2008, 03:08 AM

I learned Javascript about 6 years ago, but it's been roughly 4 years since I've used it. I've noticed that Javascript has changed A LOT, and I'm wondering if anyone knows any tutorials that can help me get up to date with the new changes.

you may want to try any or all of these:

http://www.webteacher.com/javascript/

one suggestion would be to use a javascript prototyping library, it'll make cross browser javascript alot easier, and also make using the javascript in general easier

i personally use http://www.mootools.net, i know there are others, but unaware of what they are.

Thanks for the links, but I've looked through those a bit and they seem to be for total newbies. I already know a lot of what is presented, but the links are still appreciated.

And yeah, I do plan on using a library but I feel it wouldn't hurt if I was able to understand what they do (for educational purposes).

JavaScript hasn't changed "a lot", people have just been adopting new styles of writing it.

If you want to become an expert quickly, I suggest you buy JavaScript: The Complete Reference books. Great for the adept coder. The author is a JavaScript elite and a UCSD instructor. I am currently reading his new Ajax book, which has been hard to put down all weekend.
