Don't read JavaScript patterns, High Performance JavaScript and Pro JavaScript Techniques before learning the basics! Avoid every single book that has PRO on it's title or description since you are not a pro YET.
http://eloquentjavascript.net/ - is a good start point. try to figure out why you want to learn JS than latter figure out what you need to learn... maybe just copying some jQuery examples/tutorials is enough for what you need and will give you some experience/confidence/motivation while you do it... later you learn how to do it "better".. depending on what you need to do you can completely ignore inheritance, design patterns, performance, etc.. those are topics for advanced users and not always required, I'm sure that most of the JS developers don't understand how prototypical inheritance works and they still accomplish their tasks (I've used JS for years without understanding it..) good luck! -- Miller Medeiros | blog.millermedeiros.com -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
