1.     Complete the QIE Tutorial (30 Min).

2.     Complete the QIE JavaScript Tutorial (3 – 5 hours). Read and understand carefully. Don’t

just peruse the manual.

3.     Complete the W3Schools JavaScript tutorial available at http://www.w3schools.com/js/ (1-3 hours).

4.     Attend the Level 1 Certification Training program (2 full days) https://www.qvera.com/training/

5.      Complete the Code Academy JavaScript tutorial available at http://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/javascript (10 hours).

6.     Complete Level 2 Certification Training program (2 full days) https://www.qvera.com/training/

7.     Other commercially available JavaScript manuals or websites. (Recommended only after completing “all” of steps 1 – 6. Most JavaScript manuals have a heavy emphasis on programing JavaScript within Web Pages and HTML code. This is a divergence from how JavaScript is used within the QIE environment.)

8.     Time: If you are new to programming in general and/or this is your first exposure to JavaScript learn patience and expect at least a year or more to feel comfortable with advanced JavaScript scripting.

 

Valuable Reference Materials:

1.     QIE Code Wizard! Your first stop should always be the QIE Code Wizard and the available pop out documentation.

2.     QIE JavaScript Tutorial.

3.     QIE Reference Manual.

I've found the resource/book Eloquent Javascript (http://eloquentjavascript.net/ ) to be most useful.  There's a physical book that can be purchased, but it's also available under the Creative Commons license at the website, free of charge (and with interactive code snippets).
