A few JavaScript links for your surfing pleasure.
The JavaScript Weblog, by Dori Smith, JavaScript author. As far as I know this is the only blog specializing in JavaScript.
Stylish Scripting
Blog at Sitepoint, by Simon Willison. Solid client side content.
Note: The Sitepoint site has a tendency to be unavailable from time to time (say, once every
10 times I try to check it).
Evolt. Not a JavaScript resource per se. It's a web site and mailing list about Web Design in general. There are some members who are very good at JavaScript, including myself. When starting to learn JavaScript it may be a good idea to read articles and become a member of a mailing list so you can follow discussions, keep up with the tecnical advances and ask questions if you're really stuck.
Jennifer Madden's JavaScript Tutorials. Especially good at explaining the basics of the language (the "building blocks", as I call them). The tutorials may be slightly outdated (I couldn't find last modified info), and they still pay a lot of attention to Netscape 4, but this is an excellent place to start if you're new to JavaScript.
Thau's JavaScript Tutorial. Starts at the very beginning and goes on from there.
W3C Schools Online Web Tutorials. Truly excellent set of tutorials about nearly all programming-related Web topics. Of course it includes a JavaScript Tutorial.
Netscape's JavaScript Reference. Since they invented it all, probably the best place to go for some good definitions and explanations. The site is geared towards programmers, so it's not the place to start if you're new to programming.
Netscape's
Client Side JavaScript Reference. The manual of JavaScript. No explanations for
newbies, just the gory details of client-side JavaScript.
It has been my guide for as long as I write JavaScripts and it only rarely lets me down.
Faqts Knowledge Base - JavaScript. Excellent list of questions and answers to common and not-so-common JavaScript questions.
DevGuru JavaScript Index. Index of all methods and properties of JavaScript in Netscape 4. Though many of them are cross–browser, this index is decidedly Netscape 4–centric. It may nonetheless be useful.
IRT. A very solid collection of tips and tricks. Slightly outdated, but you'll find some nice things here.
WebFX. Actually, this is a JavaScript site that makes me think of my own site. Lots of useful scripts and each script is explained line by line. It's more geared towards DHTML and advanced style sheets (filters, for instance). The navigation is nicely done in DHTML. Definitely worth a visit. (And yes, the writer has linked to me, so I gladly return the favour.)
JavaScript Optimization. Interesting page about various optimization techniques that make your scripts run faster.
JavaScript debugging. Good article on JavaScript debugging.
JavaScript in PIE. Short tutorial on JavaScript in Pocket Internet Explorer for Windows CE. Roughly compatible with Explorer 4.
1K DHTML API. This tiny script shows that it is quite possible to write a small DHTML API, something the 'specialists' in the field strenuously try to avoid.
The Web Standards Project. These are the guys who time and again tell Netscape, Microsoft and the other browser vendors to adhere to the standards. Standards support isn't perfect yet, but it's becoming better, thanks to WaSP.
HTML Compendium. The resource for all HTML tags, including obscure attributes. Most tags now have a compatibility chart where you can see what browsers support the tag.
