In order to use the JS frameworks for my project, i need to understand how javascript works and how to deal with that. But why javascript ? in order to make an rich internet application .. PHP or serverside application is not enough. We need AJAX to be involved with. AJAX is stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. You see ? theres Javascript as a part of it …
According to this article , theres a few resource that good for beginners. Most of them is a an audio video media and the rest is readable media, sounds good right ? So here they are :
-
Douglas Crockford: The Javascript Programming Language – These four videos are a must-watch. If you’re new to javascript or are rusty, start here.
-
Dougals Crockford: Advanced Javascript – These are a little less useful but still very informative. They are less useful because Mootools creates a different kind of environment than Douglas is describing (he talks about native Javascript, and Mootools kind of changes this native environment and so many of his code examples don’t apply to Mootools, but you can still learn from them).
-
Joe Hewitt present Firebug – this video will introduce you to Firebug, a must-have debugging tool if you’re doing any javascript work (actually, if you’re doing any html, css, javascript, ajax, whatever; it’s awesome).
-
w3schools js docs and tutorials – a good place to learn how to use various native functions.
Im also recomended you to visit those resources, it is good for JS beginner like me …
Good luck
