Recently the San Diego Tech Immersion Group (SDTIG) started a new track in learning JavaScript from the very beginning. What we'll be doing is following the curriculum outlined by a web post found at JavaScriptIsSexy.com. It looks like it will be a heavier workload than previous tracks, but it will almost certainly be one of the very most rewarding as well. If you are not familiar with SDTIG, I would highly recommend checking it out and joining up!
One of the first questions that came up was how one might go about writing some JavaScript code and playing around with it to see how it works and what it does. There are a LOT of different ways to do this, and there are just as many tools you might use. Since a lot of the developers in SDTIG are familiar with Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, I thought it might be useful to have a step-by-step tutorial on setting up a very basic website that would allow someone with just a little Visual Studio knowledge to get up and running in no time. I hope that some of you will find it useful! If you have questions or thoughts on how to make this tutorial better, please leave a comment or contact me!
Go grab yourself a caffeinated beverage, fire up Visual Studio, and have a look at this tutorial to start tinkering with JavaScript right away!
