The current discussion, which you may have missed, reveals that this
tutorial must be strongly recommended against:
<pp.

Then again, you may be just another spammer instead.

Interesting and very progressive.

but ... in a simple page ...
Scripts (21 files) 148 Ko (768 Ko uncompressed)

Hardly, it is overly simplistic and seems to have been written by
someone with a very limited knowledge of javascript. It doesn't
explain some fundamental concepts that should (such as why variables
should be declared) and is utterly wrong about others:

"An object in Javascript comprises of two things

"1. A collection of properties (variables) and
"2. Methods (functions) - all classed under a single name."

but ... in a simple page ...

Yes, and global variables like:

var jsonString = eval({"Education":{"Engineering": ...

Gratuitous use of eval should tell you something about the author.

That's why it's interesting : understandable by very newbie

explain some fundamental concepts that should (such as why variables
should be declared) and is utterly wrong about others:

Sure, as many other tutorials, some errors can be seen.
Hope that remarks here could be of some utility.

"An object in Javascript comprises of two things

It's a tuto, brief, with few pages, not a thousands pages book

I think I prefer that site that outperforms a basic tutorial :
<http://selfhtml.org/> (only in German and in big part in French)

No, it's rubbish. Nearly every topic it covers is misleading. The
beginner will end up being seriously, perhaps permanently, confused
about the language and how to use it.

You should grammar check your "English" before posting; or, for
errors to be forgivable, indicate that you are posting as a non-
anglophone.



Never trust an anonymous site. Reputable sites all give a clear
indication of the person or organisation responsible.

A site on JavaScript should always spell JavaScript using the letters
j a v a s c r i p t in that order, and with a consistent case
convention.

When using setFullYear, it is best to enter all eleven letters.

One assumes, from the "English" that the author is Russian, Indian,
or similar; or an ill-educated anglophone.

Advising alteration of the system clock is DANGEROUS in a multi-
processing system. And your code is disrespective of Jewish and
Muslim readers. A tutorial page on Date Objects really should
mention .valueOf() and what it gives.

An intelligent author of a site written in a language which is not
well-known to him/her will display pages in a browser, copy'n'paste
into a word processor, and so get the spelling and grammar checked.

In an international medium, a line like
expires=07/08/2008 00:00:00";
needs further explanation; FFF is a minority notation.

Method toGMTString() is deprecated.

You have "The toUppercase() is a method of the String object that
converts String to uppercase." which is untrue - presumably copied
from an American source.
