According to this javasriptissexy link (and I quote):
~~~ quoting ~~~
And do not try to learn the language by using only Codecademy, because
while you will know how to program bits of very small JavaScript tasks,
you absolutely will
not have learned enough to build
modern web applications. Why learn only a tenth of the language, it is a
waste of your time. I do recommend Codecademy below as a supplemental
learning resource, however, to use along with specific chapters from the
two JavaScript books you will be using.

Just curious; For someone more Introductory-level like myself, why WOULDN'T one wish to wade into the js waters by using Codecademy --- as opposed to diving into the deep end with Secrets of the Javascript Ninja and/or javasriptissexy's purchase-suggested books --- notwithstanding author Richard Bovell's claims to the contrary???!!! And BTW, this particular person is already proceeding quite well thank you through the
Web Fundamentals Track on Codecademy... including completion of chapter 8 (Build a Webpage)
And WHY NOT go through the WebPlatform.org js tutorials at
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/javascript/tutorials ??
Just curious is all.
