Evening Warriors,

I am considering Javascript & JQuery as my next programming language to learn. I was just wondering could anybody recommend me any great resources or books on the subject.

Thanks

      I'd suggest that you start with this tutorial w3schools.com

      Or if you're a visual learner you could try lynda.com. It's a video tutorial service. It is a paid service, but worth it. You could successfully learn enough javascript in 1 month to get you started, then just cancel your subscription.

      As a side not Jquery is actually just javascript. It just gives you a bunch of extra tools to make writing javascript scripts easier.

    I haven't read it, but it seems to be a good Javascript book based on the reviews. It's taking a look at it.

    I recently completed Try jQuery, (free), and was very impressed! I knew zero JavaScript before, and now I'm able to write real-world stuff for clients.

    Hey to learn javasctip and jquery try:
    Online video tutorials & training | lynda.com
    The have screenshot video tutorial that would help you understand how these works and how to use them.
    After that you would need to learn ajax as well but i would not recommend lynda for it as well because their ajax tutorial is not very good.

    I will have to recommend my jQuery 2.0 Cookbook it is rammed full of practical examples showing you how to do all kinds of things. If you are looking to learn a more advanced JavaScript framework then I would recommend AngularJS by Google. You can learn it in 30 minutes here: AngularJS Tutorial.

    Hope this helps!

    I just got a new job and I'm doing a load of jQuery. You can't beat on the job learning, but if you don't have an IT job then just come up with a little project that will need jQuery. Then you'll learn as you find out how to do bits and pieces in jQuery.

    It's also worth learning a few other HTML 5 frameworks like Bootstrap, DataTables.net and AngularJS. Web programming is getting way too complex to code everything from scratch yourself.
