So much learnin’

Monday, September 1st, 2008

My brain is tired… Well not really, but my fingers and body are. I have been doing lots of CSS/Javascript work recently.  I am using YUI for an app I am working on at work.  While it is very useful and makes things a lot easier, my Javascript skills are … well old.  Think Netscape Navigator kind of old.  I stayed away on purpose, avoiding the pain of dealing with the browsers.   That is no longer the case.  Anyhoo, after realizing that I needed to purge what Javascript I knew things began to make sense.  I only wish I had realized very early on that I needed to start with a clean slate and learn it all from the beginning. Oh well.  JS isn’t all that bad, but I’ll take strong typing and early binding over it any day.  I am sure I will have more to say when I have recovered from my ‘extended day’ regimen that I have been on for the past month.  So much to learn and so much to do.

I like this feeling.  I just need to control the urge to learn something new while a dead-line looms on the horizon.

My site was b0rked for a few months and I was too busy/apathetic to fix it. Anyhoo it is fixed now. I will get around to putting up more if I can find the time.
