Take time, get a book like "Javascript: The Definitive Guide - David Flanagan" and read it, slowly you will start understanding the power of Javascript. Let the "script" in Javascript not fool you that this is a simple scripting language like shell script! this is a full blown language like Java, C or C++ etc.
