Enrico, I don’t think you and I are the target audience. It’s an introduction meant to provide the basics of the library/framework. And at that, it’s unbeatable in my opinion.

I’d suggest it only to people completely new to javascript and that never used a js framework before.

I have a background with Prototype and I used JS a little, and I didn’t feel like I got out of it much more then if I read the API.
– Ajax is practically not covered (ie. handling response codes).
– The examples are really basic

Hopefully the next episode will be more challenging.

JavaScript is weakly typed. You need to keep that in mind when you develop with it. Nevertheless, JavaScript is a fundamental skill for web developers.
