I've browsed through the library and used the search feature, but can't seem to find any class on javascript animations. Is there one? I see there's a class on javascript, but I'd specifically like to know how to do minor animations on scroll events. Thanks!

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsjQuery Basics is probably the closest, since it covers a few different events and jQuery's built in animations, as well as getting you to build a 'simple drawing application' at the end using HTML5's canvas element.
If you haven't done that course or its prerequisites, JavaScript Basics and JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects, then I suggest you try those first.
Then there's a couple of Treehouse blog posts about animations:
- Efficient Animations with requestAnimationFrame
- How to Create Smoother Animations and Transitions in the Browser
And lastly, if there's a specific thing you're trying to achieve, feel free to ask on the forums here or search on sites like StackOverflow.
