Getting Started: Your Roadmap to Success... 14-June-2018 Dan McGhan Developer Advocate @ Oracle

If you were to give an APEX developer two recommendations for getting starting with JavaScript, what would they be? Read up on jQuery Learn about APEX JS APIs

Peter Raganitsch I would direct them to my JS/CSS talk for PL/SQL developers !

Jorge Rimblas Also JSFiddle for The thing that helped me quick prototyping, best with getting started was looking at other a good Editor Plugin which peoples samples, etc helps with Intellisense, Auto- complete, Formatting, etc...

I have had good success with And my favorite JS guru on Pluralsight’s Node.js course YouTube: FunFunFunction

Christoph Ruepprich

Websites - MDN web docs (for reference) Books - JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (still waiting for the 7th edition)

Other than that... Web page inspection tools are great for learning. :-) Adrian Png One thing I would highly recommend is JavaScript the Good Parts by Douglas Crockford

Also his web site

Learn "JavaScript" not jQuery Choose a sample app topic first. Understand what it that interests you (movie means to manipulate the database, car details, etc), DOM structure using real and try to build that same JavaScript before you use a sample app in multiple shortcut like jQuery. It will different serve you better down the frameworks/toolkits/libraries road to know what is going on as you learn. behind the scenes.
