in reply to [OT] How do I really learn javascript?

Moritz, When I first started learning JAVA, I started a small project and used a website as my crutch. You might want to checkout JavaRanch.com. I spent quite a bit of time there during my "learning curve". They have 3 levels of forums & I'm sure you can skip the Beginners Forum (where I spent most of MY time). The site was 'almost' as helpful then as the Monastery is now ;-).
Keep in mind, I'm a newbie in BOTH. Thanks, I hope this helped.

    The closest relation between Java and Javascript are four common letters in the name. Apart from that, they are very different.

    I already know some statically type object-oriented languages (Eiffel, C++, Java) and atm I don't feel inclined to work more with them. They are nice for some forms of engineering, but I'm not as productive with them as with dynamic languages.
