Codecademy's interactive course teaching jQuery, the JavaScript library for simplifying DOM manipulation, event handling, and AJAX in web pages. It is aimed at learners who already know basic HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript.
Commenters recommend it as a quick, practical step after the JavaScript course, with one saying it is designed for people who don't know JavaScript yet.

If you haven't done it already, I would go through something like codeacademy's jquery course (https://www.codecademy.com/learn/jquery). Going through something well-defined with guaranteed success like this before starting from scratch is really helpful (to me at least).
Of course, talking to school professors is always a good idea. If you want to do some online learning, for HTML/CSS/JS I would recommend Codecademy, they have good web dev courses. Go for the HTML & CSS course, the Javascript course, the jQuery course, and the Make a Website course. That should be…
Great job of finishing these course. Next step is the JavaScript course, then the jQuery course and/or "Making interactive website" course. JS is a big one as it's easy to pick up, but hard to master. JS is really powerful these days and the number of JS frameworks that can do different types of…
Other people may be able to suggest better, however I basically started everything on Codecademy, Starting with HTML & CSS, then "Build a website" course, then you can either go for JavaScript but that could be overwhelming to start with so it might be a good idea to start with jQuery on there…
* Both the Javascript and Jquery CodeAcadmy courses are great. Take them if you want to add a bit of functionality to your site. * Keep expanding your CSS skills, CSS Tricks is a great site for reference and to get better * Also check out the Mozilla Developer Network. Probably the best CSS…
I think /u/ladywanking wants you to take Codecademy's jQuery course. It sounds like you want to focus on rails, so do that first.
If you are using codecademy then I recommend you do the Jquery course there, it is designed for people who don't know Javascript. If you follow their course structure you should be fine :)
That depends on how keen you are! Codecademy will teach you how to use JavaScript fairly quickly - you should be up and running within a week. But there's a lot more to it than just knowing the syntax, so I'd recommend the jQuery course straight after (2 days, tops). That'll tie some of the JS…
I don't think it is a stupid question at all. HTML/CSS are only the building blocks used to make a basic Web site. If you want functionality, like say have something put into an HTML form go somewhere, or do something, then you'll need to move forward with coding. I think Javascript is a good…
Is this for a class or something? You should take a jQuery course on codecademy first if you’re having trouble understanding the code. Basically it fetches an element in the DOM with the ID “element”. Presumably this is the unordered list. Every time the list is updated it runs the callback…
