Another great one for people just starting out with JavaScript is
Jeremy Keith's DOM Scripting.

Thanks for all the advice guys.
I think I'll get 'Simply Javascript' from sitepoint - or something
similar - and start from there.
I've got loads of programming experience so I spose I 've got a head
start on a total noob!
Cheers....

Just to add a bit to this...I recently was forced to write in "pure
javascript" rather than jQuery for the first time in a while, and
it was a
very good exercise in getting back to basics. So I would also
recommend
learning some of the basics of javascript at least in tandem with
learning
jQuery.

Yes, in the end jQuery is nothing else than JavaScript - although a
very excellent piece ;-)

Mark,
You should really get a grasp of how JavaScript works so that you
can be
a more effective client-side developer. jQuery makes things easier
but
you still should know how to handle, at the very least, the basic
constructs of the JavaScript language. It will help in
understanding why
certain things occur.

Hi,
first post here ... I have searched and cant find an answer to this
but I'm sure it's been asked before ...anyway, here goes:
I have only a rudimentary grasp of javascript but I'm very
interested
in jQuery - so, is it better for me to learn Javascipt first and
then
jQuery
Or
is it feasible to simply try to learn jQuery??
TIA.
