[dba-Tech] JavaScript is tragically important: One developer's journey from C# to JavaScript

Hi All:

Everyone hates JavaScript as it doesn't behave like a real language should.
Its rules are loose to say the least; if you have learned to speak/write the
English language with all its inconsistencies, you can learn JavaScript. ;-)

Quote: "...The ubiquitous nature of JavaScript means that the pain of
framework and platform deployment is a thing of the past. The browser is the
platform, the Internet is the deployment model. Thanks to the browser
manufacturers there are no frameworks to deploy, no installers to execute,
no administrator permissions issues, and virtually no versioning issues.
Regardless of your personal feelings about JavaScript it is undoubtedly the
single most important computer language in the world today...

...The hands-down winner is JavaScript. I believe that, in the current state
of technology learning, JavaScript is the best investment you can make for
your career. In fact, I believe that, in the near future, JavaScript will be
an essential tool in virtually every developer's toolbox..."
