With January being half way complete, I wanted to give you guys an update with my goals for 2012. For my goal of becoming a better programmer, I decided to begin with mastering JavaScript. I felt that this is relevant to complete the holy trinity of front-end web development. For years I have been putting off actually mastering JavaScript so I really will be working hard to learn as much as I can and master it. I have given my self three to six months to go through the regiment.
CodeAcademy.com- AppendTo.com Lessons
- Read Eloquent JavaScript
- Read Getting Good w/ JavaScript
- Learn the in’s and out’s of FireBug
- Read an in depth JS Book (Any Suggestions?)
- Project – Task Management System
- Learn JQuery – Lynda.com, Net Tut’s, etc…
After this I will continue diving in to PHP and other server side languages. Besides learning, I have been reading more but the writing I still need work on. Other than this I feel like things are moving very slow and have already ran out of my new years energy supply… I just need to stay motivated
I never learn how java script works. I just love css3 and try to make something on my blog.
