I think your approach should be first learn using a library (like jQuery), which will get you building functional apps pretty quickly. From there you can dive into the more advanced concepts of Javascript. Here's some books and the order I'd read them in:
1. *Smashing jQuery* http://www.amazon.com/Smashing-jQuery-Magazine-Book/dp/047097723X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1299184278&sr=8-4 2. *Javascript: The Good Parts* http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockford/dp/0596517742/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299184468&sr=1-1 3. *Javascript Patterns* http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Patterns-Stoyan-Stefanov/dp/0596806752/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299184497&sr=1-1 4. *The Practical Programmer* http://www.amazon.com/Pragmatic-Programmer-Journeyman-Master/dp/020161622X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299184512&sr=1-1 You can read the Amazon descriptions for more details. -Amit -- 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]
