  Standard Set Answer:

  I have just started working as a developer and have developed a web app for searching different companies. I became interested in JavaScript during this project and wanted to learn more about it. JavaScript seems like a lightweight programming language with a lot of possibilities. And it seems like a lot of fun.

  By participating in this study group i hope that i can get a better understanding of JavaScript and how to use it to develop nice web-apps.

  Right now when im new to JavaScript i think i dont have much to contribute with but when i get better i hope that i can contribute and give tips.
