JavaScrip for the absolute beginner?

[neorescuer36]

I am really an absolute beginner at coding. So far I have HTML and CSS down to a workable degree.

I learned both of these using great guides and practicing, and now I want to learn JavaScript.

Does anyone know of a really good tutorial that could teach my JavaScript from the beginning?

As a future reference, this belongs in programming help. By posting your requests in the appropriate forum you will most likely receive useful input much faster.

If you can get your hands on a book or e-book, try getting wrox, beginning javascript. that is what I used and it was very helpful. Otherwise try http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp for a very quick overview and guide.

And while you are at it in your learning spree, I'd also suggest some server side scripting such as php. It'll take a bit more effort to learn but it's worth it.

Hah, thanks, I'll take a look at those.

I'll remember where to post next time.

Indeed, I've done a little copy-paste editing with PHP and had great results. I would love to learn it.

One nice book to read :
Oreilly.JavaScript.Cookbook.Jul.2010.eBook-ELOHiM
Inside the book you will find everything about JavasScripting.

Try it into Mozilla and check JavaScript core 1.5 and some new features in 1.6, 1.7
Also you can visit :
http://www.w3resource.com/javascript/javascript.php
They maintain 1.5 version. Lots of examples and simple English.

I ended up getting the Visual QuickStart guide. Thank you for all the links! Once I get into JavaScript,I'm probably going after the Wrox book.

Thank you all!
