Hi Tina: Don't thank me yet. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tina Norris Fields Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 5:05 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] JavaScript is tragically important: One developer's journey from C# to JavaScript Jim, I'm thanking you and whoever else it was who spoke about Node.js. I'm running through some tutorial classes on it this week, and beginning to see how I will use it. Thank you. Until now, I pretty much ignored JavaScript, seeing it as less than other "real" languages. So, thanks for the wake up call.
