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.
