What do I need to know about Java

[hanorotu]

I have learned a thing or two about javascript with its loops and variables. But it has been a while since I have dabbled in anything.

So my question is, are there any Javascript experts on here that will be able to offer me some advice as I re enter my journey into the world of javascript?

Links?

Well first, you should learn differences between Java and Javascript. Because of that I moved this to "Web oriented" board.
I don't now much about Javascript, but I know enough about Java.

Try code academy. It'll be the first result you google. That's how I learned, and yeah, there is nothing even remotely similar between Java and Javascript.....well except that they have loops and variables and arrays and blah blah

Learn to work with web elements, cookies, forms, etc... Javascript is for the web, so anything web related is what you need to know.


Also take a look at javascript inline code injection.

I realize this is an old topic, but since everyone else are bumping this up: Learn how to submit forms, manipulate strings and other variables. Learn xmlhttprequest, very nice for CSRF/XSS stuff. Hell xmlhttprequest can be used for tons of cool stuff.

Hell xmlhttprequest can be used for tons of cool stuff.

Amen to that


@OP know this is a old topic but hit me up on skype if you want to chat about JS, i'm no expert but ill get around with it

Depends on wich side of the wall. You can learn general programming. Javascript interactive design (HTML5/Canvas) Or Ajax techniques.
