Decided to read a book about Javascript. It seems like a pretty basic part of the web developer’s toolkit, if only for various cosmetic fix ups and so forth. Obviously I will probably discover tons of cool things I can do with javascript once I get going.
I do keep seeing zillions of references to libraries like jquery for adding a host of cool or useful features to your site like galleries, menus, cool visuals, etc.
Anyway, I’m reading Learning JavaScript, 2nd Edition by Shelley Powers. I am reading it for free online on Safari Bookshelf, a benefit of my Santa Cruz public library membership. It rocks.
