Comment on Ask HN: Is it bad to master jQuery without any knowledge of the undelying JS?

Comments

I am in this position right now as I am working on a startup in my free time. I've been coding the backend API in Flask but I am delaying the frontend due to a lack of JS knowledge. There are plenty of jQuery examples but sometimes I have no idea what I am looking at or how the code is flowing. My lack of JS skills will probably introduce security risks into my website.

So I am now forcing myself to start working on some basic JS tutorials and my friend recommended I pick up this book: jQuery: Novice to Ninja: New Kicks And Tricks.
