Hi,

Personally, I learnt js_of_ocaml by first learning javascript using firebug in firefox. They have something called the console, similar to a toplevel, where you can directly manipulate the DOM to see what you are supposed to do with javascript, and immediately see the results on the webpage. Make a simple webpage, the most important point is that your elements all have a property called "id", and try to play with this toplevel before understanding it. A typical example is :

<html>
<body>
<div id="example">
Blabla
</div>
<p id="aparagraph">
Blibli
<p>
</body>
</html>

Then, in order :

- try to make a table programmatically (using the Mozilla Developper Library).
- use httprequests.
- animate svg pictures
- use canvas.

Then if you learn about what javascript calls "prototypes", you're done learning javascript, and you can do all this in ocaml.

Good luck
Pierre
