Ok, so from what I can gather, Daz Script 2 is an extension of QtScript, which is an extension of ECMAScript, which is a standardized form of JavaScript. So would I be better off learning JavaScript first, then moving to Daz Script? I ask because I'm a little bit old school (C=64 era) and I learn better when I have a book I can sit down and read. There are tons of books on JS, but I doubt I'd find any on DS. I'm familiar with programming (Basic, Cobol, Pascal) but the only modern language I've studied is Java.
Second, how similar is DS to JavaScript? Will learning JS first screw me up, or will it give me a solid foundation to learn DS more easily?
