Out of curiosity, what is the excellent reference for Javascript.
When I was first learning it (4 years ago), I ran into a lot of trouble.
Python has Python.org and documentation in reams. C++ has cplusplus.com, C# has MSDN, PHP has php.net, and so on.
In comparison, W3 schools seems very poorly laid out and not very structured.

- jacobr 15y agoIt is indeed difficult to find good JavaScript references via Google. There's even a campaign to remedy this: http://promotejs.com http://promotejs.com Don't trust W3 Schools. Despite its name, it is in no way affiliated with the W3C. Take a look at http://w3fools.com http://w3fools.com

Nota most bene, though: not every browser implements everything you'll read in the standard. But, if a higher percentage of JS coders would read and grasp the standard, we'd have less confusion about how to use the langauge, IMO.
