thank you a lot. i have begun with new boston tutorials on youtube, wich are a decent intro, but I need something more now. ill check those out

If you have a cursory understanding of JavaScript and it's syntax i highly recommend you check out some of Douglas Crockford's content: http://javascript.crockford.com/. He is the man who invented the JSON format (if you don't know what that is yet, don't worry, you'll come across it soon enough), and wrote an excellent tool called JSLint. He is an authority on the language.

His website has innumerable musings, explanations and interesting perspectives on all things JavaScript and he links to lots lots of videos of his various talks. His YUI Theatre videos are of particular interest as they are very comprehensive.

thank you so much for this. im going through the tuts now and loving it. you have any suggestions to where to educate myself in when I complete them? My ultimate goal is to be comfortable enough in js so that I can move to other languages like php and ruby. is that a good plan? What do you suggest learning after js?

start by looking at dynamicdrive.com. This is a good foundation. They have great demos and code to experiment with.

codeacademy.com is a good start.
