For getting a better and solid understanding of the JavaScript language itself, I would like to recommend this online book: Eloquent JavaScript <http://eloquentjavascript.net/>. In contrast to many other books about JavaScript, you get live(!) examples while reading the book, you can even edit the examples and see what then happens, all this from your web browser. Also, Eloquent JavaScript might be more difficult at the beginning but it teaches a solid foundation -- unlike so many other JavaScript tutorials.
That is probably because JavaScript is an incredibly versatile thing, but if you are not careful then you easily end up in a huge mess. From my experience, many tutorials are perfect examples in teaching how to write JavaScript mess. ;) Next: how do you integrate existing JavaScript into TW5? For this, I would suggest reading the developer TW5 documentation (it is linked from the main TW5 site). This gives you a better understanding of the individual pieces you get. However, typically you will be simply overhelmed and the docu isn't written from the perspective you would need. Personally, I started my learning process by trying to understand how to write a new TW5 macro and a new filter operator. This is still a steep learning curve, but there's the TW5 core source code for macros and filters which will serve you well as possible starting points. With more experience it should become more easy to look at how existing JavaScript libraries are integrated. Codemirror is a good, albeit slightly involved topic. It show all the integration work that usually needs to be done. Just my .02. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
