JavaScript Events from the Ground Up: New Premium Tutorial

Download Source Files

Almost everything you do in JavaScript is supposed to begin when something happens: the user clicks a button, hovers over a menu, presses a key, you get the idea. It’s pretty simple to do with libraries like jQuery, but do you know how to wire up events in raw JavaScript? In this week’s Plus tutorial and screencast, I’m going to teach you just that! Help give back to Nettuts+ and join our Premium program!

Whether you prefer a written tutorial, or an in depth screencast, we’ve got you covered. Andrew will teach you about the intricacies and inconsistencies of working with multiple browsers and JavaScript events.

      You know how you know when you program to much? It’s when you begin to replace common words with programming terms when you type… Like every time I try to type myself, I find myself typing mysqli. Weird!
