I'm looking to write some tutorials. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions on tutorials I should write on?

Maybe something that doesn't take 30 minutes to write? Most tutorials I see are on little properties and functions like appendChild. Things like that only require a simple "quick reference" (a description and an example).

One thing I would like to recommend though (JavaScript), is a for loop tutorial. Only because i'd like to see some examples where the counter isn't a number. Too many people would like to think it's only handy when messing with arrays.

Most also think it's easier to use a while there too, but I get what you mean. I'll try covering that. I'll also mention leaving things blank, which most people don't know about. :P

Eh, while loops aren't always the better (or easier) option.

Just an example, I could probably think of a better one. :P

for(var i = obj.firstChild; i; i = i.nextSibling)

That's a really good idea because tutorials never go over that. I never even realized it until Aaron posted it somewhere else.

Do you know any regular programming languages (Java, C++, etc.)?

No, but I do need to learn Java for AP Computer Sciences next year. :P Great place to start I guess.

I'm taking that exact class this year. You must be a sophomore or junior?

I find drag and drop to be quite fascinating.

So, perhaps an in depth tutorial on that.

???

What would you want to see in a tutorial on that specifically?

Because drag and drop is awesome :) I would like to see that too. Because I could learn more on mouse events (etc)

Anyway, this thread might help.

Well, the same thing I said above. I would like to learn a little more on user events, like mouse and keyboard. For drag and drop, it would be mouse. :P

Oooo, I feel special now. Same age same year in high school. :P

Yes, drag and drop is something I've never even looked into. That's some nice stuff Aaron, I'll have to play around with it to understand it.
