I must admit that I didn't read the article, instead I came directly here. I have worked with jQuery enough to have read lots and lots of simple introductions.

I must admit that I didn't read the article, instead I came directly here. I have worked with jQuery enough to have read lots and lots of simple introductions. The stuff that usually trips me up is knowing which files I need to download, host, then import into my page to get something working. In java we have things like automatic imports in eclipse, dependency management with maven etc. When I go to the javascript frameworks it seems like these are somehow 'boring' little details that nobody writes about. This whole thing reminds me of learning Spanish. When you go to a book store there are hundreds of intro to Spanish books. Maybe because they are easy to produce or maybe because most people pick up an intro book and never get beyond that. What might be nice is if google could be customized to the point where it knows my skill level in various subjects and returns results that I will find interesting.
