Web Design for Javascript: Learning the Prototyping Basics

In my book, Learning to Program, I teach the concepts, principles, and tools needed to program the right way. I’m not going to try to do that here.

If you want to learn more, and learn why those bad things are bad for real applications, check out my book.

By the time you're done reading this article, you will have learned just enough JavaScript to make a prototype registration form that checks for unique usernames and has a password strength indicator.
