So I've been getting dangerous enough with ruby, and rails, to build to my hearts content. But I'm trying to do some crazy javascript stuff. I understand the language to a degree, and implementing JQuery, Prototype, Mootools stuff usually isn't too much of an issue for me. But if I want to become, seriously good (especially with Jquery) where should I start?<p>Thanks!
Start by implementing yourself a complex javascript widget. Like, say, a datepicker. That's a reasonable complex widget. Or start smaller with a dialog. Then, start going through it finding ways to optimize, rinse and repeat.
