| Mar 6, 2013 at 14:53 | comment | added | gnat | did you check 'javascript' tag wiki at Stack Overflow? Their "Learning JavaScript" section looks quite impressive. And "Wisdom from the Stack" section... And "Frequently Asked Questions" section... and, well, everything I see there | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 14:33 | comment | added | Erik Reppen | Okay. Two things. W3Schools is often dated/incomplete but it's not the antichrist. Crockford however, often is the antichrist. (kidding, but numerous positive contributions aside, he does often confuse personal style preference for general best practices which leads to a lot of rookies with annoying ideas about things that should never ever be done who can't tell you why) | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 14:24 | comment | added | Clement Herreman | Please, please, please, forget about w3school. That place is full of bad code, worst-practises and outdated information. Go for Douglas Crockfords book, also John Resig's, and use Mozilla Developer Network as reference for any syntactic/compatibility reference. | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 14:17 | comment | added | Devdatta Tengshe | You need to pick up "JavaScript: the Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford. | |

| Mar 6, 2013 at 12:01 | comment | added | Joe Slater | @marko, unfortunately it is not free of cost, so it does not suit me. I heard about eclipse plugins but can not find any? Can somebody give me a link to a good one? | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 11:57 | comment | added | Marko | Try out webstorm jetbrains.com/webstorm | |

| Mar 5, 2013 at 21:56 | comment | added | Erik Reppen | MDN is probably a better idea. | |

| Mar 5, 2013 at 20:01 | comment | added | Florian Margaine | It looks like you want to read an introduction on javascript. | |
