Via jQuery I got back into JS, the examples showed what’s possible here and there.
Douglas Crockford (senior JavaScript Architect at Yahoo!) has a bunch of videos that explain some key concepts behind JavaScript, and its history, all of which I ehr, plan to watch :-) But the parts I did see were quite excellent, and some things I couldn’t wrap my head around before suddenly clicked!

They say the best way to learn a language is to find a pet project for it, something to write in that language. For me that happened after finding (besides various jQuery stuffs) the HTML 5 Canvas element, and realizing I could – finally – easily try out and play with things like the Chaos Game, cellular automata, bifurcation diagrams, fractals.. Early attempts: http://mech.cx/canvas.php
This was so much fun! :-D

I just don’t get it. I’ve read the books, I’ve watched the videos, but I just don’t seem able to wrap my head around it; how it works, how the it’s built-up. PHP I kinda get, but this…
sigh
Not giving up though. will master it!
eventually…

Just read a chapter about javascript syntax! Can’t wait to see it all in action because right now I am very confused. Variable, arrays, objects, statements, functions – how is all this going to help make my web pages more dynamic? But I am determined to find out, however hard it may be to grasp right now :0

I have a fairly sound knowledge of HTML & CSS. Now I want to master Javascript. I’ve made several attempts to learn the basics, but found things way too confusing. I just need to apply myself and focus on really understanding each thing before moving onto the next. I’ve bought a book – DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith – which I’m hoping will be my saviour.
I AM NOT GOING TO LET IT BEAT ME!
