Before you go on, a few things about JavaScript: • JavaScript is not Java. Java is much harder (but very powerfull) to learn). • We use JavaScript to write scripts. Scripts are mini-programs like menu's, form validators and page effects. • JavaScript is slightly different depending on which browser you use. But the core language is the same for both browsers, that what my tutorials teach. • There are two types of JavaScript: Client-Side, and Server-Side. Client-Side works in your pages, Server-Side works with the server. My tutorials teach Client-Side. Best to learn Client-Side JavaScript before you learn Server-Side JavaScript. • JavaScript is a good language for those newbies to learn who have no programming experience. It's easy, doesn't make you do the complicated stuff other languages like Java and Perl do, and will teach you the basics of programming that are used in every other language. • Programming doesn't care about english grammer. It only cares about syntax. That's the rules you need to follow when programming, such as ending certain lines in JavaScript with semi-colons rather than periods.
