You'll need to know the basics to do much more than use things like roundClass... syntax and control structures, objects would be helpful... var scope, etc. I think you should get the basics down first, and learn the rest concurrently. It'll give you a good sense of all the hard stuff that MochiKit makes easy, without having to "go there". At least pick up the pocket guide for reference to all the built in functions, math stuff, etc. MochiKit is not exactly an abstraction "above" JS (it's no replacement)... more like it fills up a lot of holes in JS, adds some Pythonicity, and also handles most of the nasty cross-browser platform issues so you don't have to think about them and can just get your work done. (Ahh, if only something like mochikit existed in the days of IE3 and NS4... when I was writing an almost-all-JS shopping cart in frames! oh, the horror.) -i --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
