Question

Learning Javascript

I am new to scripting but I would like to learn more. I have an account on Lynda.com, I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with Lynda.com's tutorials and which one's I should take. I was going to take the Javascript essential training, but I noticed that the training is centered around browsers.

If I learn javascript that is specific to html and browsers will that help me with scripting for Illustrator?

thanks!

yes, it will help, actually Adobe assumes you already know Javascript, they don't mention any of the basics of the language in their documentation, they go right into explaining how to use the different Illustrator Objects.

and that's the actual way to go, learn JS somewhere else, then when you're comfortable with the core language, move into the Illustrator Documentation.

Thanks Carlos, up until now, all I have been able to do is go through other scripts and make minor tweaks. Hopefully some day I will be able to write my own scripts so I can automate my work.
