What's better than Javascript?
...On the internet - nothing! There have been a few contenders, but I'm pretty sure JS won't be dethroned any time soon (if ever). Sure, there's "Dart", Google's offering of an alternative language for web browsers (mainly Chrome), however, even Dart and Coffescript have their convert/translate to JS features for obvious reasons.
So, what can make your JS experience better? In my opinion, JQuery! It allows you to simply your JS code and manipulate html and css code at the same time. Codeacademy.com has a fairly good tutorial, with my only complaint being that the error correction scheme will sometimes penalize even if your code has the same functionality as the exercises they describe at the end of the session, so long as it was not the code they were "expecting". Still, I say give it a try! The only thing you have to lose is inexperience.
As a side note, their tutorial doesn't require expertise in JS just to get started.
