Welcome to qooxdoo, I think the best starting point is
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation and there http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/1.0#getting_started Try the Hello World example first. There is a lot more info on these pages as well and there are even general links to JS topics relevant in the Qooxdoo context. Also look at http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/1.0/snippets There are also some Qooxdoo tutorials: http://www.muhuk.com/2008/10/getting-a-little-further-than-hello-world-with-qooxdoo/ and some more sepcialized ones http://www.muhuk.com/2009/01/using-layouts-in-qooxdoo-part-1/ up to part 5. Tobi's tutorial is for an older version (0.7.x), some API changes have happened since then, but the basics are still valid and useful: http://www.slideshare.net/oetiker/lisa-qooxdoo-tutorial-handouts-presentation Also, use the online demos and tools: http://qooxdoo.org/demo like http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/showcase/ http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/playground/#Hello_World and of course the API docu http://demo.qooxdoo.org/1.0.x/apiviewer BTW, I had never used Javascript beyond the typical 5-liners for some simple form validation before starting with Qooxdoo. So I don't think you need to first learn JS, just use Qooxdoo and learn as you go. And use the mailing list when you have concrete questions (even simple ones are answered in a friendly way here).
