Javascript can cover almost all necessary aspects of programming - the bits that are specifically missing from the language are generally possible using the most important aspect of programming - discipline. I am hoping that as MS, Apple and Adobe wake up and smell the mulled wine and let the JS language move on a bit. - JS2..0 from about 5 years ago would have been nice - mozilla had working versions but it got castrated.On Mon, 9 Jan 2012, tom wrote:http://www.codecademy.com/ Havenʼt registered but could be promising.It's an interactive javascript thingy. Quite interesting. I went through the first 3 "lessons" then they want you to register/sign-up...I guess it's going to teach a certain type of coding - ie. javacript purely aimed at web type applications...Still... There does seem to be a lot of interest in "coding" recently (Why coding and not programming?) - it's almost as if people haven't learned to write code in the past 10 years...... which I understand is basically what's happened (in-schools in England, as I understand from friends still teaching in Scotland that they still teach computer programming and not just glorified secretarial studies)I have my own thoughts on this, having learnt to program in school some 34 years back, however we'll see.Gordon
