It's time we talked a bit more about Javascript. The Good news is that it doesn't always require webpages. The bad news is that some people may find it intimidating - which it really isn't!
There are a couple of ways of learning at your own pace:
I like the tutorial at webmonkey: http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/javascript_tutorial/
Still, if you're a slightly faster learner download the latest version of Mozilla Firefox at feel free to run wild with Scratchpad - the built-in Javascript interpreter in the developer tools section of the options pane. For this route, a good place to start is here:
1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/JavaScript_basics
and then move on to here:
2. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Introduction
and move through to the intermediate sections (and if you find it enjoyable - the Advanced section).
A somewhat well- received route has been the javascript tutorial at www.codeacademy.com . It will require that you pay close attention to detail however, since they use very sparse wording.
Finally, w3schools tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp offers a walkthrough that breaks the language down by subject matter.
So pick one route and be prepared, for our next stop is social networking APIs!
P.S. - Feel free to send me any questions at my email.
