  What made you interested in this topic?: Interested in becoming a web developer and JavaScript seems to be a necessity.

  Standard Set Answer:

  I am interested in learning Javascript (and other languages) in order to bolster my knowledge and marketability as a Web designer.  I have written (X)HTML and CSS for many years, but never did learn any programming, and it is time to change that.

  I hope to begin learning a programming language, at least enoug to where I can develop simple scripts from which to build off of.

  I may be interested in the study group organization if time allows.

  Location: UK

  Standard Set Answer:

  I have been learning web development since college a few years ago and have recently gotten to the stage where I need to implement some more advanced elements to my web pages more so than what I can achieve using HTML and CSS. Recently I have started trying to add slideshows and lightboxes to my sites and it became apparent that having a stronger knowledge of Javascript would help out a lot.

  From participating in the course I would love to get to know the ins and outs of Javascript to the point where I can decide on something I would like to implement and just go and do it the way I need it done and be able to use technologies such as JQuery to implement more useful stuff on my sites which I now need to rely on templates which I don't understand to implement.
   

  I would also be interested in helping with the study group organisation if needed.

  Standard Set Answer:

  Well the ease of learning via Web by login from anyplace,anytime made me interested in joining P2PU.org and while I was browsing through the subject I came across Javascript, which i was laging behind, So I am signing up to participate where i can collobarate with my peers on the subject and enhance my knowledge on the subject.

  Since its been organised as a P2P course which will let the participant share knowledge between the learner and the learning process will be quite fast.

  I will definately help with my time if required to the study group which will help in making this concept more popular in the coming years.

   

  Looking forward to have a great learning experience.

  Thanks

  I love being creative through web design, print design, and whereever creativity is elusive. My personal goal is to work for Mozilla Firefox in a design/creation capacity, or in a capacity to reach out to others and fund raising.

  I recently started a P2PU Study Group called "Breaking the Language Barriers". If you're interested in teaching your native tongue, please send me a private message. You can view my personal website here.

  You have the opportunity of a lifetime with the free university provided by P2PU. Make good use of your opportunity. I know I will.

  P2PU and YOU are leading the way to an open web! Our world needs to be one that is open, along with an open web and open society, where no one has to worry when their next meal will be, and if they become ill, that they, regardless of income, would be able to get the very best medical care in a free and open society. Furthermore, every person should be treated with respect, fair and equally regardless of income level, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or color.

  Standard Set Answer:

  I'm interested in learning all forms related to web or technological advancement/developement, with the exception of weapons. And in order to become the right type of developer, I must have a concrete understanding of such topic as javascript.

  I would like to use the knowledge gained in these courses (I am taking several) to teach others, to work for world peace, and to be part of what I consider a great movement. I would love to master the subject, however, who could be considered an expert or master due to the fact that technology, especially in web developement, is advancing faster than Superman could have ever hoped to fly?  I believe we could someday feed every hungry person around the globe, ensure they have clean water, health care, and electricity. I believe it will be web developers and other types of technological developers who come up with the grand solutions that could end up saving billions of lives.

  Indeed, as I have stated in previous answers in other courses, I would help as much as I can. Once I learn the subject, or any subject, I would be more than happy to spread the love.
