  • I have so many ideas on what I'd like to achieve with javascript but I just haven't had the guidance to get going, I am interested in using JavaScript not only client-sided but also server-sided to create my own applications from scratch with Node.js.
  • I hope to get a general understanding of JavaScript and a more allround idea of how to use it and for what. I am also hoping to be able to write my own basic JavaScript applications.
  • I unfortunately don't think I have that much knowledge to contribute with but I will always try to help when I think I can.

  Bio:

  Arqueólogo, aunque los últimos años he trabajado como topógrafo. Aficionado a la programación, (PERL y Autolisp, sobre todo),  a las matemáticas y la física.

  Actualmente estoy estudiando el funcionamiento y diseño del astrolabio y leyendo un poco una referencia de JavaScript.

  Tengo alguna familiaridad con HTML y CSS. Me gustaría aprovechar el interés que me ha suscitado JavaScript para aprender, de verdad, a programar aplicaciones web. (El gusanillo de las extensiones Firefox, también me anda picando).

  Location: Zaragoza, España

  Standard Set Answer:

  Comencé a interesarme en JavaScript cuando tuve que examinar algunas aplicaciones web de la intranet de la empresa en que trabajaba,  que no funcionaban adecuadamente. Entonces me di cuenta de la potencia de la programación en cliente.

  Me gustaría llegar a ser capaz de desarrollar los materiales adecuados para un proyecto que tengo en mente relativo a la historia de la matemática aplicada. Creo que JavaScript + HTML + CSS, y los applets Geogebra, pueden ser una herramienta fantástica.

  Estoy dispuesto a ayudar en todo lo que pueda, naturalmente.

  fronteer, standardista, prone to rampant fits of viewing source, defender of net neutrality, open source or die...

  Location: Virginia Beach, VA

  Standard Set Answer:

  I've always been interested in JavaScript; my recent intrigue is because I'd like to utilize JS to build rich UIs and also node.js' explosion has left me mesmerized and drooling.

  I'd like to be able to use JS to DOMinate the User Experience; increase usability, ui, ux, etc. I'd like to learn my way around node.js (or server-side JS in general), not only to see what's up...but I think it'd be really swell to be able to write code in one language for both sides so you only have to write your code once!

  I am interested in helping, but not sure how I can.

  I'm currently working in the comic book industry, though I'm looking to up my web development game as well. 

  Location: Ohio

  Standard Set Answer:

   

  I have been able to design, chop up, and code websites with HTML and CSS for a few years now, though I have always avoided Javascript like the plauge, using other peoples code and hacking together badly working fuctionality. 

  I would like to take my web game up a step and take the time to learn Javascirpt the right way. I have attempted to teach myself and learn from videos online, that has been semi successful but I do tend to not get very far into it before I'm off learning something I understand better. 

  I'm currently working in the comic book industry, moon lighting in the design business and also doing small work in the music industry right now, so I'm not sure I can put a ton of time in helping with the organization of things, though I'm not against the idea when I am available to lend a hand.

  I've recently started using javascript after only programming in Java and Python and I am astounded at the simple, but powerful code that can be produced if one understands the good and bad parts of the language.
