So I have to learn about AngularJS. I don't have to learn to write it, but I really need to be able to look at Javascript, recognize a function call, and know what it does. I've worked through the tutorial on the AngularJS website, but I need something more advanced. Anybody have good recs? There are a ton of pages out there that purport to be just this, but I would like to use resources people recognize to not be a waste of time.

Codeschool has a couple that might be decent since you're fairly new to JS as a whole. First one is free and probably won't give you much, as it's likely very simple, but might be worth it to pay the 30 bucks for a month for everything they have anyway.

Udemy has a bunch of stuff that is decent and accompanied by video tutorials, Q and A with instructors, and good instructors.

I second Codeschool. Very well done website with some good information. As a disclaimer I haven't looked at their AngularJS stuff so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but as stated the first one in their series is free.

Well that's super. I like it when a consensus can form quickly. Thanks to both of you, I'll check out the JS classes on Codeschool. I've written maybe 1000 lines of JS code in my life (and half of those are alerts that show me values for debugging purposes, which I comment out later on), so I have plenty to learn.

console.log is your friend. That way you can leave those lines in there and forget to take them out.

Codecademy might work for you as well, but I don't know how much of their course is for newcomers.

That's so true it's not even funny :'(
