Any great Javascript training available online?

Hi,
I am an artist who appreciates the awesome power of Javascript, and I have come to realize how great it would be to become proficient in it.
I wanted to ask this community:
1. Can you recommend any really excellent Javascript training for beginners?
2. Can you recommend any really excellent Javascript ILLUSTRATOR training for beginners?
These resources can be free or paid for, either way.
I have used Lynda.com before and video tutorials are great.  I am open to anything (Web, books, DVDs) I am even considering classes taught locally.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
Dave

You can start with gaining an understanding of the basic make up of any programming language:
ie: Variables, Conditions, Loops, Arrays, Operators, Functions, etc.,
Once you have this understanding you can learn Illustrators own language for scripting its object model. The illustrator scripting javascript reference has lots of example codes with in it, in addition to these example snippets and codes, look at and study others illustrator codes here at the forum and across the web to gain further knowledge, understanding, inspiration.
Hopefully some of the following will prove useful to you.

  • I would like to know if there is any free mac clean up app available online?

    I would like to know if there is any free mac clean app available online?

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Any training available for Macbook air OS in Bangalore

    Hi, I bought my MacBook Air about one year back. Any hands-on training would have helped. Registered at the STYRE institute in RT Nagar Bangalore. Yet to hear from them.

    MacBook Airs don't run Classic.  See this tip on where to post:

    This being a user to user forum, you'll only get help from end users.  Sometimes you can find more help from http://www.apple.com/usergroups/

  • Any good APEX training class in NJ?

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to APEX. I'm at the point that I think I could use some serious APEX training.
    what's your thought on APEX training? Did you folks just pick it up by yourself? How? BTW, the thousands of pages of User Manual/Advanced Tutorial do NOT help much, sometimes, they could be even confusing.
    Any pointer to any good APEX training classes in NJ is appreciated. For some reason, APEX training in NJ is not on Oracle University's schedule. Or any other alternative? via video?
    Thanks much,
    Helen

    I took the first two courses on APEX from DBCON (http://www.dbcon.com/courses.html). It's an online course which I'm not a huge fan of normally, but these two courses were helpful for me. The courses also included the "Pro Oracle Application Express" book which has also been helpful for me:

    Disclaimer: I have absolutely no relationship with DBCON whatsoever. Just my two bits.

  • Software from install CD - is it available online?

    I have just got a new 60gb iPod and have installed the software on my work PC. Unfortunately I have now left the CD at work and want to set up my home PC.
    Is the installation software available online to download?
    All I can find on the Apple site is the Updater which if I install it does nothing.
    I already have the latest iTunes installed, if that helps.
    Thanks guys.

    I'm afraid that my iTunes is not recognising the iPod. Nor is the Updater. I have never previously plugged this iPod (or any iPod) into my home PC. I need the software from the CD to allow iTunes to see it, I think.
    (Internet Explorer can see the iPod but only as another disc drive as I chose to manage my songs myself)

  • I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

    I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

    Working on that now.  I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage.  Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

  • I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
    If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
    Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

  • Capital One Credit Line Consolidation NOW Available Online!!!

    Ok so I read last night on another site that combining limits is now available through CSR. So, I called to inquire. NOT YET. This is apparently a big thing currently at Capital One and according to person I spoke to, they are making big preparations for it. They had hoped it would be available by now. But are shooting for the next month or two. But definitely by end of year. You will see it online once it goes live and can do all your combining right there under your account. Pretty freaking awesome. So everybody hold on to all your Cap One cards for now.  UPDATE: Currently available online!!

  • Is the MS CRM Enterprise Academy Training available to CRM Customers or is it exclusive to Dynamics Partners only?

    Hi there CRM Experts/Community,
    We are a Dynamics CRM Customer (CRM 2011 & 2013 On-Prem), and we have existing CustomerSource Accounts. We are very interested in attending the MS CRM Enterprise Academy Advanced Developer Training (see links below). Is this training available to
    CRM Customers (CustomerSource Accounts) or is it exclusive to Dynamics Partners only (PartnerSource Accounts)? I'd like to know if there's a chance for customers to attend.

    Hi.
    As Danny already suggested, you can try logging into the
    PartnerSource link with your CustomerSource account:
    https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/newsevents/events/conferences/msdcrmenterpriseacademy
    It looks like you can log in with a PartnerSource or
    CustomerSource account and register for the training. When you click for more details, it asks you to log in with one of those types of accounts. It may not let you in though. It doesn't appear to be available for customers.
    BTW - Here is the training offered to CustomerSource users:
    http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/customer/training.aspx
    As well, here is a portal chock full of Dynamics CRM developer resources:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm/jj937218.aspx
    Good luck!
