I've been a graphic designer for the past 25 years. Only "programming" I know is HTML and a little CSS. I'm about to try my hand at learning JavaScript and AJAX . . . . should I learn JavaScript first - and then learn JQuery, or will I be okay just diving into JQuery?
Just to let you know - being a designer and working off that side of my brain - I have to tell you - even the most simple programming concepts come hard to me. The books, "For Dummies" are over my head. . . I tried learning PHP/MySQL . . . had to put it aside for now. Just can't wrap my brain around it. With that said, I am dogged determined to learn all the above, but figure I need JavaScript first. What do you recommend? Dive into JQuery?
