@CharlesFeb 25.2003 — #[font=georgia]I just took a quick look at the fitst two lessons of Thau's first tutorial and I found one minor and two major errors. I remain convinced that there is no decent JavaScript tutorial out there.[/font]
@CharlesFeb 26.2003 — #[font=georgia]Again, the first and fourth in that list are bad, the second is very bad and the third is a list of other tutorials. There are no good tutorials. And even if there were, you cannot learn JavaScript that way. See the thread http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4863.[/font]

Though to be fair he does also say that a book is the best thing to use and suggests JavaScript : The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan, which you yourself also suggested.

IxxI [/B][/QUOTE][font=georgia]It is clear from the tutorials, though, that Thau hasn't bothered to read the book.[/font]
@JonaFeb 27.2003 — #Charles, in what exact area do you find errors in my list of sites? I know programmersheaven.com is mainly a portal site, but I think that it's useful since it's mainly a site of links, too (or links to programs). Programmingtutorials.com is, as you said, a link to sites as well. HTMLGoodies.com, I have found many errors in, however I've learned a great deal from that site. Are you referring to the fact that the site's information is not W3C standard and not compliant with all browsers, versions, and operating systems? Or are you simply referring to the fact that none of the Javascript code provided at these sites works?
@JonaFeb 27.2003 — #[b]IxxI, are you saying your library actually [i]has[/i] books on programming!? Wow! My library has thousands of books, but they're all kids books! In the adult section, they're all about science and stuff. What category do you look in for Javascript books?[/b]
@IxxIFeb 28.2003 — #It does have books on programming, but not very many. But if you go in with a book's title, author and ISBN number, they can get it for me. So I do that a lot to get all the programming books I want!
