Barefooted and naked of breast, I mingle with the people of the world.
My cloths are ragged and dust-laden, and I am ever blissful.
I use no magic to extend my life;
Now, before me, the dead trees become alive.

What is the Oxherder talking about? What dead trees? Perhaps he's referring to the static web pages that have been enlivened with his JavaScripts.

As for this tutorial, it has come to the end. We've tried to present the skeleton of the JavaScript language, and give some examples ranging from simple to complex. There's no substitute, however, for your own koan. Here are the downloads we mentioned. [The filename.exe files are self extracting zip files]. Hope they help you along the path to putting the flesh on your own scripts.

the bamboo shadows sweep over the stairs,
but the dust remains unstirred;
the moonlight penetrates the depth of the pool,
but the water shows no trace.
