JavaScript from Null: Video Series
Thanks to the wide adoption of libraries like jQuery and Mootools, JavaScript’s popularity has skyrocketed in the last few years. However, in the process, an interesting thing occurred: many newer developers are learning these libraries without taking the time to actually learn about raw JavaScript techniques. What percentage of jQuery users don’t know how to fade out an element with only raw JS? My guess is that it’s much higher than many would think.
If you want to truly understand the library you’re working with, and improve your skill-set, it’s vital that you learn the fundamentals of raw JavaScript.
This screencast series focuses exclusively on JavaScript, and will take you from your first “Hello, World” alert up to more advanced topics.

Hi Jeffrey,
I really enjoy the different tutorials Envato offers on varying web development subjects, but in particular the web dev series. I often find it hard to find them unless I stumble upon them though.
Is there a page that lists of all the web dev series from all the sites with links to all the episodes? I am referring to the types of series like ‘WordPress for Designers’, ‘Code Igniter from Scratch’, ‘Diving into PHP ’, ‘jQuery for Absolute Beginners’, ‘Regex for Dummies’, ‘JavaScript from Null’, ‘ASP.NET from Scratch’ and so on (Basically any tutorials that have more than one part in it).
I would love to see a page that lists them all along with links to each episode in each series. Would you please consider doing that so it’s easy for people to find the episodes as well as possibly discover new ones they might not have known about?
Thanks. You guys rock!
ehh.. go to Jeffrey (home)page and enter the vault section look for “My Tutorials and Screencasts” ;]
Ok, thats nice to find SOME of them, but Jeffrey Way is not the author for all of the series of turorials on nettuts and themeforest, so that’s not ALL of them.
well done clear and simple
TANKS
Sweet… i watched you PHP seriers and been eager to see if you made one about JS… PHP I am getting but JS still is out of my league, this is making it a lot easier to read those book… Cheers Jeff. Top Notch mate!
Just watched. Many thanks to the person whoever he is for retaining the download option on the blip.tv site.
Understood it well, only towards the end it became somewhat fast [english is not my first language
].
Jeff, which tutorial site do you recommend to check out during the time you will come up with the second part?
I’d recommend this site called Nettuts+.
great stuff here
Absolutely Fantastic!!
JayWay … best tut ever. Good job. Please more of this. JS all the way through, then PHP, then more.
Remind me not to comment mid-video.. holy crap.
What’s with the 30 second commercial in the video? I was going to just leave this site, but then decided to post this comment during the commercial instead. Come on tutsplus, this isn’t television! It’s the interweb!! Ditch the lame ad (some random video about a coffee mug? I don’t know… the sound is turned down and I’ve scrolled to the bottom of the page anyways).
oh balls, I just submitted that comment and the page refreshed… now I have to sit through the video again! I guess I’ll just come back to the page when it’s done.
Please remove the ads?? They’re intrusive and annoying…
I not a high skill javascript user, but I know a bit.
I watched this screencast by curiousity, and I like it a lot !
You have a nice way of teaching stuff !
Keep on the good work !!
Thanks for me, and all the guys out there that will learn from you !
Cheers!
Ben.
this was really great…thanks for putting it together!
great tutorial
Nice one!
As always Jeffrey your video tutorials are awesome and very clearly spoken. You should become a teacher!!
You seem to be very patient as well in your teachings….Keep it up!
Jeffrey, would you recommend using ? Or rather the way you explained it in 2: Declare the Correct DocType in this tutorial http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/30-html-best-practices-for-beginners/
Thanks
Marc
Hm, I meant !DOCTYPE html
It’s nice to see a return to fundamentals. In order to use a framework correctly, it is important to really understand the quirks of the js language. Without this understanding, it leads to a lot of repetition and inefficient coding, so I’m glad that the tuts+ network is making these tutorials.
hi this is just great, thank you for this NETUTS+
Thank you Jeff!
Good Job! I can see ur hardwork in each and every second of your every VDO! It helps alot to the newbies and even for pros to upgrade their knowledge….
Thanks alot Jeff!!!
Wow! Nice tutorial. Thanks a lot!
AWE…. SOME!!!
I even paid for Training-DVDs about JavaScript, but this here is a lot more worthy than them…. Wonderful…
Even though I’ve been doing some front-end development for a few years using HTML and CSS I was completely lost on this. I don’t know really anything about JavaScript and while this gave me an intro to what it can do I feel like I have no understanding of any of the fundamentals like syntax, etc.
On top of that, it’s way too fast. Am I supposed to follow along and do the things as you do them? I had to pause this every 10 seconds and rewind to make sure I was typing things correctly.
I like to think I’m not a dumb guy…am I completely missing something here?
I`m newbie ,
Above movie is an advertisement , what`s wrong !?
I can`t see any JS tutorial in that movie !
Above movie is an advertisement !
How can I get main movie?
