@a_5mith @Ted Now now play nice, upvotes for the both of you.
@Ralkage There's no substitute for the fundamentals. Understanding javascript syntax first will help you in the long run. When I was hiring (way back when in my non-startup days), I'd see lots of devs with "jQuery experience", who couldn't code their way out of a box in plain javascript.
@psychobunny and @baris would make fun of me here, because back then I suffered from the same lock-in, except it was MooTools that I was using instead of jQuery XD
