Expect to see lots of tutorials and articles over the coming months. For my part, I'm writing <a href="http://domscripting.com">a book</a> aimed at JavaScript novices.</p> <p>I think the resources situation will improve slowly but surely.</p> As Chris said, a whole bunch of people gathered together in London to address the problem of the lack of resources on JavaScript.

Today we had a meeting after the @media conference including some of the best JavaScript minds out there: Peter-Paul Koch, Dean Edwards, Stuart Langridge and, well, me (I wrote the Unobtrusive JavaScript course). </p> <p>We have agreed to publish a lot more basic examples and maybe think about a pattern repository. It will take some time, but we are thinking about it. </p> <p>Personally, I am rewriting the course, and will extend it to more basic examples and some other broad vision statements. Give us some time :) </p> You are spot-on with your request.

When I was learning JavaScript I visited QuirksMode every day. There's just too much good stuff, and plenty of info on making things work. Even if the markup is a little outdated, his theories still apply. </p> Trust me, Dolphin. When I was learning JavaScript I visited QuirksMode every day.

Quirksmode is really the best website about javascript, DOM and DOM Events that I have ever found.

The markup may be found lacking, but PPK knows about it, and what isn’t intended, done by design, he just doesn’t care about. Read this page for more

It would truly be sad for you to miss Quirksmode’s ressources, because you more than likely won’t find any better and up to date one on the web…
