Not to worry, I just found a thread with links. lol

You, can read books/threads in either this forum or others. you can also, download sample codes from sites like planetsourcecode and learn from it...

W3Schools..and yes there must be no of threads

W3school.com is the options for learning Javascript.....

You can't go wrong with those.

The book that actually helped me is DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith.

You can find the book at here.

Thanks. I will probably check out w3schools.com.

I don't have any books on any coding or programming and will eventually, to use as reference guides.

Javascript Tutorials

Let me ask you, have you ever done any programming at all? Places like w3schools and codeacadamy tend to teach you lots of facts about one particular programming language, and next to nothing about programming itself. This is, it goes without saying, a horrible way to learn a programming language, especially if you've never done any programming.

These threads practically regurgitate the line "Go to w3schools" without giving any real basis for this reasoning.

JavaScript is not terrible as a first language, though it's not quite what I would recommend to be honest. It just isn't the greatest test environment for learning the bare basics of programming theory. I'm just talking about the basic IF, WHILE, and FOR conditions which are staples.

Most great JavaScript programmers came from another discipline, like Perl, PHP, Python, even C, etc. It's just much more helpful to know another language in general, and all of the concepts that come along with each language.

Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you with my long diatribe.

w3schools and lynda.com

you can read the book carefully and w3school.com is also helpful for you.

Okay. I will check your link out and see how I got on.

It's definitely a different way to learn it.

Thanks

W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is the best place to learn for beginners.

i've tried persisting with codeacademy.

Its not working for me at all. I am doing if/else statements for a rock/paper/scissors game and everything I do just doesn't work.

Each task takes me an hour and then I only complete it because I give up and watch a youtube video on how to do it.

I am not learning a thing.

WOW! You know what. I went back over all the javascript I have done on code academy.

I was getting really frustrated with it. I am so glad I went back over it though.

doing the rock, paper, scissor game, i some how got really lost, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. maybe when I did it I was half asleep or distracted and didn't do the exercises properly or something happened that made me so confused.

so, I took a few hours away from it and decided to go back over the javascript stuff I had done already and see where I was going wrong and basically I was going wrong everywhere. the code I was writing was totally wrong and I see how I was making so many mistakes and not progressing the way I wanted.

I can push on now.
