Looking to Level Up, Designer’s Attention Span

[sloveland]

OK so I’ve been looking for good and engaging sources of javascript learning on the web. Anything that has good exercises or use cases would do, but if it’s a book, pretty pictures and colors couldn’t hurt – this is after I’ve already spent a full day working or doing school, so I’ll have the attention of a 5 year old.

Still, leveling up is important. Any good suggestions out there?

If not, we need to get on that.

As just a tad more background, I’m comfortable with beginning Javascript, and most intermediate classes/tutorials/books bore me… right up until I get to events and event binding. Basically, the stuff that is SO easy to do with jQuery seems like a wall to me in Javascript.

I’ve been having a hard time finding practical methods to scale this part of the learning cliff.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I’ve checked that out. Doesn’t seem to handle anything more complicated than basic arrays… doesn’t even get close to event handling.

im finding http://codeschool.com to be an excellent resource once you get passed the basics.

they dont have a dedicated javascript course yet but they dig pretty deep into backbone, and jquery.
