| Where to go from here
Of course these pages have only scratched the surface of a deep and
robust programming language. There are thousands of free Javascripts
available on the web, in dozens of repositories, and there are dozens
of tutorials on how to make and use Javascripts. Although I can't
keep up with 10% of what's out there, I thought I should at least
recommend some a few places I've found useful.
The uber-site for Javascript information is of course Yahoo:
Javascripts. After that, following are some sites that I have
found useful.
Web sites with Javascripts
Recommended:
Javascript Generators
Superscripter
and Cool Tools at Builder.com
Webreview
popup windows
WebHut Tools (various)
Javascript Collections
Javascript
Made Easy - Good scripts, clear presentation. http://www.easyjavascript.com
The Javascript Source
- Likewise. This and Javascript Made Easy (above) seem easiest
to get into and find what you want and how to implement it. http://javascript.internet.com/
Cut and
Paste Javascript - Good organization, useful scripts, clear directions.
http://www.infohiway.com/javascript/indexf.htm
Also good:
Javascript directory at Developer.com - http://www.developer.com/directories/pages/dir.javascript.html
Webmonkey - http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/javascript/
C|Net Javascript info - http://builder.com/Programming/JsSpotlight/
Web sites for learning Javascript
JavaScript Mini-FAQ by Danny Goodman, Author of "JavaScript
Bible" This guy knows everything about Javascript. There's
stuff in his FAQ that's nowhere else. http://www.dannyg.com/javascript/jsminifaq.html
Site for Laura Lemay's Web Workshop: JavaScript by Michael Moncur.
Her FAQ is good, too - http://www.jsworkshop.com/index.html
Voodoo's
Intro to Javascript - This, along with Netscape's documentation,
is probably the one thing everyone involved with Javascript will use
at some point. It is readable without being dumbed-down. http://www.webconn.com/java/javascript/intro/tutorial.htm
The best book on Javascript:
Goodman, Danny. Javascript Bible Third edition.
Foster City, CA: IDG Books. 1998?
This one's distinctive; it's smart, comprehensive, and inviting. It's
not flat-out easy, but neither is Javascript. Goodman has both
an expert's knowledge and a teacher's feel for how learners approach
Javascript.
