For as popular as JS is, I've found it pretty difficult to find good tutorials and resources online for it. I guess I was looking in the wrong places? Google was just failing? My google-fu isn't as good as I think it is? I dunno...
I think this will be a big help and a good resource, so thanks a million.
Because I've just started messing with javascript, I'm mostly focused on games programming. But more generally, it seems hard to find information about how to write well optimized javascript (especially in terms of memory usage). This could be my problem, though. I get confused by callbacks and knowing when I'm creating objects (especially functions) versus when I'm reusing them. Callbacks are just confusing the hell out of me - specifically inside of something like requestAnimationFrame... how do I prevent new functions from being created every time I use it?
I mean, w3schools is awful for anything but a very quick reference, and while the content on MDN seems to be accurate, it's not very exhaustive and doesn't seem to provide much explanation. Whenever I have a problem with matlab or perl I can go to some great websites or just google my problem to find solutions (and often great explanations) quickly.
It looks like a wonderful hub of all sorts of information about game development, good job to the person who put this together! Hopefully I can even apply the lessons I learn from all of this generally to other languages as well.
