I am a new developer, who just got hired at a big company. I don't know how but I guess they are desperate. However, I am well-versed with HTML5/CSS3 though things change and new things are released and I keep up with as much as I can. But this job required me to hand-code Javascript, know Jquery and Ajax. I have been exposed to this a bit but I am not sure if I can hand-code Javascript.
My question is, is it necessary to memorize all there is about Javascript or are there a few key things that I should know how to hand-code because looking at javascript code it seems there are lots of lines code!
Please point me in the right direction.

Today, in our work as in our life, it is more important know how to find information rather than know the information itself. I mean that a good developer is a person able to find documentation, network, and that share with an open mind.
I am an experienced .NET developer and, believe me, for every project I work on I have to learn new things about the language and development environment. Our work is always more intricate so do not worry. Point your attention at problem solving and then look for help. All the solutions already exist; we must be able to find them.
