JavaScript for Beginners
Whether you are completely new to JavaScript or you just need a refresher, you should check out this 5 part video series from NetTuts.com called “Javascript from Null.” Author Jeffrey Way has created another fantastic series here, and he’ll literally hold your hand through your first simple scripts before showing you some special tricks you can use to spice up any website:

If you aren’t familiar with it, the website Nettuts.com provides plenty of free web design tips and tricks. But if you’re serious about learning web development, you’d be foolish not to sign up for their Plus Program, which is a steal at $78/year and includes premium access across the entire TutsPlus network. I am a member myself, and I believe that one of their Plus tutorials – PSD to HTML to WordPress – was worth the membership price by itself.
