New clientco has a system that is heavily dependent on Javascript. I've done some very basic stuff before but can anyone recommend a decent online website, book or videos to learn from?

Learning Javascript
What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
They've brought you out to the US for an important business role and now you have to do JS code-monkeying?

I'd recommend Mozilla Developer Network.
I find it useful but I'm sure Nick will be along soon to tell me why they're terribleComment

I sometime wonder about the level of basic comprehension, of some people.
Without going into ridiculous detail your best bet is the mozilla developer network described above unless you see a number of $( type lines in which point you will want to learn jquery.
In the Woods – “jQuery for Absolute Beginners” Video Series is a good starting point for jquery if you don't mind videos.
or jQuery for Complete Beginners: Part 1 is you do or just want to cut and paste.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

JS and webby stuff may be in vogue but is ugly and there are a gazillion code-monkeys out there who can do it. It's the one area I've always stayed away from where possible.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by russell View PostWHS, it's horrible if they could reboot the web then Javscript would be removed and Python or Ruby used.
What we should be using is ECMAScript4, which is Javascript with classes (basically the same as ActionScript 2, although that's not important). Which makes it a pretty decent object oriented language akin to C# or Java, but manages to be mostly backwards compatible.
It's really sad that with all the wave of hype about HTML5 being used for serious applications, that we're still stuck with this numptie scripting language.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
