Javascript Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners

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.

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?"

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.

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

Whats your opinion?

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.

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

Thanks for posting this.
