I have a couple of posts explaining very simple workflows with JS.

What I now mostly see with JS questions is that the user will copy/paste a script where he doesn’t understand really what is happening. To me it is the best preparation to start with JS. You need the same logic, preparation and testing for those actions as for JS.

Whenever I present about advanced actions and/or shared actions I always get the same reactions from really advanced developers: we never knew this was possible with actions! My opinion is that too much CP-users believe that after the basics they have to use JS and skip the intermediate, much more accessible step of learning to use variables, advanced actions and shared actions (which are little bit like functions in JS). You know I follow up the forums daily (being moderator on Jive).
