An interesting idea, Shamil. But I'm not sure exactly what Linq would bring to the party that's not already provided by jQuery. (When I first heard of jQuery, I dismissed it as a dumb idea - I took its name too seriousl. Now I realize what a tremendously powerful library it is.) If you don't already have jQuery, download it at once, and while you're grabbing, get jQuery UI as well. And if mobile apps are important, get jQuery Mobile too. If you haven't already visited the Mozilla site, go here for a good tutorial in JS. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/javascript And while we're on the subject, I too have recently dived in. Maybe we should have a new list devoted to Javascript. I'm going to follow this up with a new message to be posted on the Hardware and Software list, with a small history of Javascript and the gradual movement away from server-side scripting to client-side scripting, and so on; this to provide an introduction to Javascript and why it's worth learning now.
