Sy> Can anyone recommend any Javascript tutorials that are non-HTML and/or
Sy> non-CSS driven? More to the point, Javascript tutorials that are drive for
Sy> text output such as with BBS (not the web version)?

The MDN site that DM mentioned is a great reference, but bear in mind that not everything you see there will work in Synchronet. Our JS engine is a bit out of date, and some new features have been added to the language in the meantime.

MDN is not what I would call a tutorial, although you will find some sample scripts in many of the articles.

Sy> Everything I come across on the net seems to all be tailored for an HTML
Sy> end result.

Most JS tutorial content you find will focus on scripts running in a web browser, under node.js, or as part of a particular framework running on one or both of the above. It may be difficult for you to tell what's "core" JS and what's particular to the environment the tutorial is about.

We have the "core" JS stuff from about 10 years ago, and some custom things on top of that:

https://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html

I could go on, but the best thing you can do is dive in, refer to the heaps of JS that are included with Synchronet for examples, and ask questions when you get stuck. Find me on IRC if you want to chat; I have an unfortunate amount of knowledge on this subject.
