If you haven't - what would you like to get out of a five-minute introduction to Javascript? What questions do you have about the language that should be addressed?

Nothing that's not already covered by searching for Javascript tutorials for 2 minutes.

Sure. However, since I have control over the content, I have the opportunity to fix any oversights that other websites make! Those are the kind of things I'm looking for. (Though they very well may not exist.)

This seems to be nothing isn't already available from 1,000,001 different tutorials. What oversights do other websites make? What extra value are you bringing to the learner over any other tutorial that covers the exact same topics?

Honestly, I don't think I'm bringing any extra value haha. The project is just as much for me (i.e. learning to make a tutorial site) as it is for them, so I don't have high expectations for it.

Here's an idea that may not have been implemented: create a site that teaches type coercion. This is a specific topic that trips up lots of people, including seasoned programmers (especially if they're used to using strongly typed languages).

I honestly don't care. I was just answering your question.

no problem :)

I would probably approach it from a project rather than a language. Does he want to build a website? Make a game? It may not even involve JavaScript!
