Learning JavaScript… Should I skip straight to the good stuff (the frameworks)?

Question

I learnt HTML/CSS a good few years back, then PHP a little later. I\'ve recently become interesting in web development again, just started playing with frameworks like Djang

Answer 1

I think "both." Mix it up. Play around with a framework. You'll get stuck when you try to do something real, so you'll pick up some JavaScript to figure it out.

A lot of the good jQuery books teach you JavaScript along the way.
