Thanks for this. I'm still a newbie in Javascript.

Not to take away from this, but I'm currently learning JavaScript via Code Year @ Codeacademy. It is the furthest I have ever been in learning a language. Usually I buy a book and lose interest. I'm really loving the constant exercises.

So if the headline caught your interest and a video series is not what you're looking for, you should really check it out. I'm on the 10th section and on a 25 day streak, and I think about it everyday now, not wanting to lose my streak. I don't know if it is for everyone, but they really hit the mark with me.

I am on the same (js) track, I second this recommendation for code academy learning the language by actually using it is twice as fast at least. Imhexperince

I only looked at the first couple episodes, but be warned that this is javascript for the absolute beginning developer. They are really slow-paced if you have ever done any coding before.

Not to knock the videos, if you are in the target audience, they are really good, and fill in a lot of gaps that other tutorials may not. Things like "Wait, why am I saving this file like that?" or "What is a DOM?"

funny to see a js tutorial using notepad and IE for the dev.

you'd be hard pressed to find ANYONE developing like this unless it was a video from microsoft.

They might be doing it like that because those programs come on every Windows PC sold. In other words, you already have everything you need to get started.

I feel a bit frightened and overwhelmed by this long running time. I now couple hours aren't a long time, but seeing the actual number of minutes gives me second thoughts.

I do prefer something like codeacademy or Udacity, that makes a step-by-step, and even that I spend more time there, it will not look the same.

would be nice if our tutorials mixed with familiar story/fables. just like i tried to mix up jquery and 'Hare and tortoise'
