Wrong Q.
If you want to learn French or Swahili, you don't want to know primarily
about Google translate, you start with a mixture of grammar and hands-on
experience.
If you want to learn Javascript, learn to generate it from your own mind,
and look how others have coped with simple tasks. The web is full of bad and
good examples. Don't buy a "bible" all Javascript books are bad and
outdated, but primarily you will erroneously believe what is written there
in.
Ask yourself what you are going to use Javascript for, clientside in
browser, serverside, in cscript/jscript or in special engines,
all have different flavors and have fastly different interfacing with the
outside world.

No, you don't *need* to ask silly Qs.

Even experts think that is the way Javascript should be used,
forget about jQery until you are an expart yourself and you are convinced
you don't need such crap.
