Short, clear videos show you visually how to perform individual tasks in JavaScript.
JavaScript Video How-To is a series of short, 2- to 5-minute how-to videos that walk you through a specific task or technique related to creating dynamic, interactive web pages with JavaScript.
Adapted from Phil Ballard's book Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript in 24 Hours, each video is self-contained and focused entirely on one particular task. You can either go through the videos in sequence or you can jump into a particular task, see how something is done, and then jump out again.
