Resources for Further Learning

Tutorial Web Sites

There are tons of great resources for learning more about JavaScript on the Web. Below are some of the better sites out there.

• W3Schools.com
• WebMonkey
• Builder.com
• Web Developer’s Virtual Library (advanced tutorial)

Books

Sometimes, though, you just want to look something up in a book. For those times, I’ve listed some of my favorites.

• JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook
• JavaScript: The Definitive Guide
• Beginning JavaScript

Example Scripts

When you’re first starting out, you’ll probably mostly “borrow” code from others (always give credit to the author in the source of your page!). Listed are a few sites with particularly good example scripts.

• Form validator
• Browser sniffer
• Random examples from my experiments page
• Other example scripts from WebReference.com
