JavaScript - Can You Learn Js Without Knowing Css?
Hello!
I have wanted to learn JS/PHP/MySQL for like six-seven years and I have in periods quitted and started with HTML/CSS because I always find CSS as an obstacle. I am a perfectionist, so I want everything to be perfect and I get frustrated when I don't know when to use %, px, em, when to use bla and bla.. And besides, I suck at design. I don't have an eye for that. I just want to get started with the fun stuff - get some interaction with the user. Can I start learning JS without really mastering CSS and then hopefully get back to CSS afterwards? And would I want to learn JS or jQuery at first? Thanks! Similar TutorialsI just know 2 sites below: http://devsnippets.com/ http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ Hello, I'm currently taking a JavaScript class at a local community college and my whole learning experience with it has been horrendous. I'm doing horrible in the class and the book we use is just beyond horrible. The book we use is called JavaScript and ajax 2nd edition. The first assignment we had to do had us putting an array in a function. Other programming classes uses books that start out slow this one just jumps right into it and is all disorganized. I have taken Java and Python and passed both classes with a B but for some reason I'm struggling really bad in this class. I wanted to be a web developer but I feel like it's slowly fading away because of the difficulty of the course. What are some better ways I can learn JavaScript? I have heard of code academy, tree house, and code school and tried code academy but I felt like it was just mainly copying code and I want to get more out of it. How did you guys learn JavaScript..Was it self taught or through school? I really thought that JavaScript would be easier than learning java and python but I feel like it's not. Thanks for your help..I need some words of encouragement. lol
Hi guys I'm new to the forums here. I want to learn how to use Javascript and AJAX along with jquery or prototype to develop a dynamic website. For example, I like how www.dropbox.com works. Everything has a transition, and you can drag and drop things around which is what I like. Ultimately I hope to be able to develop a dynamic website with social networking elements. I know my goals are lofty, but where should I get started and what should I learn. I have some cursory programming experience with visual basic, fortran and html. Any particular books that would help me learn. Ideally a book would have some programming "challenges" or small projects that would give me some experience. Thanks Hi Java is becoming big. Can I ask what is the best resources to learn java besides lynda.com? Thanks. R I've managed to gain decent knowledge of HTML and CSS and am now looking into Javascript, I have been following the "beginner JavaScript tutorials" that TheNewBoston does on youtube, is this the best source or would you advise using http://www.w3schools.com/??? Any other websites? Thanks I want to get started in javascript, and while I can do html, some dhtml, and learned (and forgot) cobol, assembly and fortran, I'm not 'getting' it. so I thought if I could start with something I want to do, and see the script for it, rather than figure out what other scripts are doing, that might work better. Suppose I wanted to start at a fixed number, and count up by a randomized +1 or +2 every 12 hours, from now till forever, and display the resultant number. If starting with <script language="javascript"> Countup(); </script> What next? I am just a beginner..can u please suggest me how to learn it properly..any book(must not be lengthy and complicated) or document.
I'm trynna make a website, its gonna be like, a game making website I plan to keep it as simple as possible for now, but once I get better at it.. anyways, I'm trying to figure out how I would do things such as: click, drag and drop right click, select something and make it appear on screen make something happen on keydown events Hi! I'm just starting to learn java script and have a questions. If anyone could answer this it'd be great. When preloading images for use in things like mouseout/on/etc what is the proper code? var image1, image 2; image1 = new Image() image1.src = "" image2 = new Image() image2.src = "" OR var image1 image1.... var image2 image2.... The book I have list both but only the 2nd way I listed works. Why? Thanks I want to have another go at Javascript. I have several books on the subject but I find that my eyesight is a major problem. Therefore I want to try an on-line solution, preferably free. I have Googled, but there are so many that I am almost dizzy with the choices. Perhaps someone could recommend one. Not too fussy visually. My knowledge is VERY basic. Frank |
