Re: [WSG] Learning Javascript properly

2008-09-18 Thread Aubrey Morrell

Simon,

Get into jQuery man. Plain old javascript just doesn't cut it. Best 
library I have used.

Bit of a learning curve but well worth getting your head around.

Have fun: http://jquery.com/

Regards

Aubrey

Hi all,

I really want to get stuck in and learn Javascript properly, and by this I
mean not filling my page with onclick and sending hrefs to #. But instead
abstracting it all into the .js file and keeping my markup clean.

I've followed the book by Jeremy Keith called DOM Scripting which teaches
just that but it only goes so far. Everywhere else I look seems to have all
the old school techniques which I want to shy away from.

Does anyone have any resources?

Thanks so much
Simon

Anya,

It just makes good business sense, If you can write what would normally 
take 40 lines of code to do and can condense it to a half dozen. That's 
reason enough for me.


Today's customers are demanding a lot more for less so if you can do 
something in half the time - why not.


Regards

Aubrey

Any good arguments of Why it is still OK to use JQuery?
