This is nice. Already bookmarked. The only confusion is at first 'superhero.js' sounds like a javascript library or framework.

Agreed, it looks like a JS library, or a new domain extension.

I wrote this a while back to help some people on my team better understand some js quirkiness. Not sure if it's worth mentioning, but it trips a lot of people up. http://chadillac.github.io/2014/03/21/javacript-globals-poin...

This explanation seems to obscure more than illuminate. Maybe for a specific sort of person that loves pointers is it useful, but I both understand pointers and JavaScript's specific flavour of closures well and still found it confusing.

For anyone looking for some good Javascript reads: http://javascriptissexy.com/

Unfortunately Richard Stanley hasn't updated the blog in more than 6 months, but in any case. If you want to sharpen your JS skills I'd highly recommend the site.

The website is so nice, and I thought all the material would be from the Superhero.js team too. Upon further review, they link to other sites, and some of them are not as user friendly and nice looking. The change of UI between each lesson/source is kind of an eye sore and sometimes annoying.

Nonetheless, thanks for putting this together!

A nod to Roy Lichtenstein might be in order, since the graphics are almost literal copies of his work.

hahahaha http://davidbarsalou.homestead.com/LICHTENSTEINPROJECT.html edit I'm laughing at the irony, not the claim of copyright infringment.

LOL, I did not know this... :)

Can you add a section - "SuperHeros for Hire - Freelance/one off work"?

I think there would be a great demand for people specialized in memory leak / performance tuning etc

Concur, one of the best JS learning sites I've found. He has a gift for explaining technical concepts well.
