/prog/ - Best place to learn JavaScript?

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-25 5:42

I need to learn JavaScript for some client-side parts I need to do (no, not alert("welcome to my web sight lol h4x"), but real stuff).

I've fucking Googled it, but JS sites seem to teach alert("welcome to my web sight lol h4x").

Do you know of any good, serious language references not intended for noobs? The kind of thing you'd get for any other languages. I need something including a detailed language builtins explanation, DOM level 1, regular expressions, and all the new methods.

Thanks in advance.

Stay away from these links. Web 2.0 cargo-cult circlejerking is not much better than the DHTML cursor trail/expanding menu fad that preceded it.

>>3 is good.
This is also good but it'll probably take quite a while to read!

Semi-truth. Prototype is fairly useful outside web2.0 though!

Lol, true

I've found this one very useful: http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref

The JavaScript shell was very valuable for testing: http://www.squarefree.com/shell

http://javascript.crockford.com/survey.html is a good overview of the language. http://javascript.crockford.com/ has more good stuff.

the js section on http://www.quirksmode.org/ is pretty classic.
if you're coming from perl: http://interglacial.com/hoj/hoj.html
this old page is the best js regexp reference i've seen: http://www.webreference.com/js/column5/index.html

libraries:
prototype, a ruby-like lib: http://prototype.conio.net/
mochikit, a python-like lib: http://mochikit.com/
jquery is a nice little lib for quickly getting at and doing things to the document: http://jquery.com/
dojo is ridiculously sized, but it can be useful to cherry pick things from: http://dojotoolkit.org/

Javascript is useless.

If you want to create a web app, use java.
If you want to create a web sight, focus on content.
