The Ultimate Guide for Learning Mootools

Getting started with any type of framework can be an intimidating experience. I had worked with scriptaculous and prototype to begin with, but decided to move over to Mootools because it’s a more light weight framework.

After the initial move to Mootools I was frustrated with the lack of community support and ended up moving back to prototype immediately. After I was more comfortable with working with frameworks I moved back to Mootools and haven’t looked back.

I’m going to walk you through getting everything downloaded and setup as well as some of the basic elements of mootools. After that I’m going to spend some time walking you through how to use the Mootools Docs, which is a site that you’ll be visiting very often during the use of Mootools.
