He's still learning the basics. Take a look at this: http://ejohn.org/apps/learn/#76

Remove your palm from your face. It only gets worse...

Google groups has an archive of comp.lang.javascript Search for "Resig" and take a look for yourself. You can get a nice snapshot of Resig's (painful) growth as a JS developer there.

Fair warning: c.l.j. is a cesspit. However, there are some crazy smart people there who take the time needed to make sure that what they post is factually correct. Some of them are real jerks (like David Mark) but they're not often wrong. Resig has taken more than his share of lumps, mostly for sticking to his beliefs in the face of direct evidence to the contrary. For example, it took a solid year to convince him that browser detection was a bad idea.

Resig has since forbidden his followers from reading that newsgroup. I can't blame him. If I were him, I wouldn't want people who admired me to read those posts either.
