Introduction to JavaScript & jQuery
Karl Swedberg, author of Learning jQuery and the jQuery API Documentation (api.jquery.com), teaches you what you need to know about the JavaScript language before diving into jQuery; including closures, anonymous functions, and implicit versus explicit iteration. If you missed out on a formal education on pure JavaScript, this workshop will help get you up to speed on the language.
