I've tried to learn js before, but boy did this tutorial make it a lot easier to remember it all. The exercises are really bothersome but are so helpful it's worth it.

If you don't know of something, in this case Javascript as you said, how can you understand it?

I didn't know you could understand something you didn't know of. For example I understand how Aliens communicate, but I don't know if the exist.

You don't have to get stabbed in the face to know it'd hurt. ;) I don't see how it's not possible for Nathaniel to understand the daunting world of x=5?

If he can tell me what document.createContextualFragment does and how it works, then by all means, I'll admit he understands Javascript even if he doesn't know about it.

It does look like a good tutorial. At a quick glance I didn't see anything I didn't already know, but it is "basic tutorial" as he said. (And there are a crap load of basics to JS.)

Now, now. You know that's not relevant to my point. ;)

'cause maybe people are shying away from what they'd consider to be "advanced?"

Or maybe 'cause you won't get up off your ass and write one? >:(

Probably Getters and Setters and drag and drop

I think it would be nice if someone wrote a good tutorial on that stuff or maybe some stuff like offsetParent, offsetLeft, offsetRight, etc.

Getters and setters are a bit more advanced, but not all that complicated. As for drag and drop... 50% of the aspects aren't. Some are though. And the offset stuff is rather basic man. :P

A few more notes about the tutorial is I found it a great way to understand javascript, it teaches the basic function of the language, but it has flaws. For example the author for some reason decided to exclude declaring variables, which seems odd to me. I'm going over (from the start, even the stuff I already know) Thau's basic tutorial:

www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/JavaScript_Tutorial

For a more... efficient view on JS, then I plan to go over his advanced tutorial:

www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Advanced_JavaScript_Tutorial
