resource for practical javascript exercise

Question

I am beginner to webprogramming & Javascript. I have went through few tutorials and learned the basics. Could someone suggest me the best resource with practical exercise with solutions.

I found "pagetutor.com" which has practical javascript exercises, but it's paid! Please suggest any paid sites too which is really worth for practical learning.

Solution 1

• Eloquent JavaScript is an "interactive tutorial" that embeds an editor directly into its pages, enabling you to test and experiment with its many examples.
• Learning Advanced JavaScript provides a series of examples intended to enable the learner to understand Prototype.js's .bind method. Examples can be edited to allow the reader to experiment with them.

Admittedly, neither of these options actually provide an answer to the question, as they are not really "exercises" so much as interactive tutorials. But they may be of some value nonetheless.

Solution 2

I would have to say that http://javascript.crockford.com/ is one of the most important resources when learning (correct) JavaScript. Perhaps not as the first stop, but definitely when you've gotten the hang of the basics.

Solution 3

This online free eloquent javascript book is awesome. But not much practical exercises.

Solution 4

I learned that from books. Basics: W3schools javaScript

For advanced I suggest these books: Advanced JavaScript(TM), Third Edition Pro JavaScript Techniques

Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

Books are cheap :)

Also I bought W3Schools books about HTML, JavaScript and CSS and I like it :)

Solution 5

One great source is : Code academy. You are learning javascript by writing code step by step and solving small exercises.

The best resources to learn about JavaScript (not practice it) are the MDC JavaScript Guide and Reference. For practical exercise: Be a bit creative and think about an application you could implement. E.g. a simple email viewer (must not access real emails) utilizing Ajax and DOM manipulation. Or some more fancy stuff using third party APIs such as Google Maps...

Do you know w3fools.com ? If not, time to have a look at it ;)

Nope, I didn't know about it :D. thanks.

Also for you, have a look at w3fools.com to rethink about w3schools.

I saw that now. That is terrible. On my luck I didn't have problems with html,css and php which w3schools presents. I`m myself learner of html, css, php, and I use books from Amazon to improve my knowledge. Basics of JavaScript I learned from w3schools and now I know why I have always questions about JS. GOD DAMN! Wrost case is that you learn advanced when basic knowledge is poor.
