How to learn Javascript fast and effective to make use in business website? My intention is to learn Javascript to apply to commercial websites such as building the "pop up" or pull down menu upon mouse interaction, changing the color of text upon mouse in, out etc. What's your suggestion(s) ?

Hi kayanat,

It really does depend on how you prefer to learn. There are plenty of JavaScript tutorials and lessons on-line. Try following some of them through. W3Schools has one set here. Then find some small projects to work on to deepen your skills.

I agree with the administrator. W3Schools has great information on learning many different things including html and programming. They have small lessons for free that are hands on and let you play with one specific skill at a time. For example, I needed to know how to put a url in text to get the underlined link effect. Went to W3schools and they had a nice little concise exercise on how to input url links, how to move text, how to link text to other parts of the page, etc. This initial exposure to easy teaching has helped me in staying with website development. I am sure they have a lengthy javascript section. Hope this helps.

I have used both W3Schools and the beginners tutorials at webdevelopersnotes.com and homepage.ntlworld.com/kayseycarvey/

I prefer the W3Schools information as I found it easier to understand and to implement.

I have relied a lot on W3Schools when I started learning ASP.Net and SQL. The flow of learning is smooth over here. I have tried many other source too, but enjoyed W3Schools the most. Hope it help you too in learning JavaScript. Best Luck.

W3Schools is great. i recomend

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and links, this helps me a lot as I too want to learn Java and also learn more about using Joomla. Glad I found this forum, I think it will be a big help to me.

There are some good JavaScript sites out there. Why try and reinvent the wheel. There are many cut and paste scripts that do just about anything you may want. Besides, by using these scripts you can see how they are constructed and eventually you’ll be writing your own.
