Peters: Learning to write JavaScript

Now that she has started working at Mozilla, Stormy Peters decided she needed to write a web application. To that end, she started learning JavaScript. "Trouble shooting JavaScript was not always easy. If I was getting someone started with JavaScript, I'd set up their development environment and explain the tools first. Firebug, the Firefox Console and alerts ended up being my friends. Before I do more JavaScript development, I'll explore some more debugging tools." While the post is (obviously) JavaScript-specific, the approach she took could also be applied to learning other scripting languages.
