Emeka, If you already know how to program, and understand closures, lambdas, first class functions in general -- which you should if you are fluent in Clojure -- then you shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever after reading JavaScript: The Good Parts. It will give you the introduction to JS you need, not an introduction in how to program.
After that, I would suggest starting a new thread here with a more specific problem you are having. Its really hard to help someone who just doesn't "understand JavaScript". Which part(s) don't you get? If after all this, you decide that JS is just too hard, you can always try mucking about with Scriptjure: https://github.com/arohner/scriptjure _Nick_ On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 9:31 PM, Emeka <[email protected]> wrote: > Garret, > > I have already done programming in other languages....
