Recently, in my role as an on-line instructor, I was asked to recommend a good site with resources and tutorials focused on learning Javascript. Javascript can be, for many designers, a very frustrating language, mainly because of the various syntax upgrades throughout the years (now its object-oriented), and the historically spotty browser support. The browser wars are over (we hope) but wading through the wreckage, we still have lots of archaic and poorly-written code lying around from 1999.

I always recommend the JavaScript tutorial over at W3schools.com. Its written in very simple language and should help the beginner get a good grasp of what JavaScript is and why we use it.

After you become familiar with the language, you may want to use a tool like JQuery to help keep your code cross-browser. Good luck!

Jay
