1. [overview]
1. [x] learning javascript - key concepts overview (this)- understanding some of the key concepts in this programming language - a listing of some of the key concepts with a 1 line description of each concept that links to a breif overview article and a more in depth detailed description of the concept complete with additional resources
2. [IMPORTANT] this chapter contains a brief overview article of some of the key programming concepts you will come across while programming in javascript, it is intended as a reference. If you are new to javascript/prgramming
3.  DO NOT TRY to learn these concepts by reading about them, or looking at example code snippets that have no relation to the work that you are doing. In my experience, in order to understand the concepts, it is much easier to do so when you are trying to apply them. 
4. DO familiarze yourself with them by having a quick read through this list or the overview articles, but to truly learn them, find practical applications, in the code that your working on and them come back to these articles to dig a little deeper into the grok pot. ~ my $.02 ~ @op
