Dimitar, Thanks for the info, I have to ask though what is up with the irc.freenode, I was on the one for node.js and didn't get any responses not sure if I know how to use it? I would like to really see more people using moo, but it is tough going at first and maybe when I get up to speed a little more I will post links to * beginner tutorials * I really want to be a part of this community, I love javascript and moo is in line with that.
I got Arrons book, after I finish the Modern JavaScript Develop and Design by Larry Ullman I will start in on that and I found this http://mrpaolo.github.com/mootools30days/ some of the links are dead on the sites that were referenced to learn moo.:( Thanks again !
