[Javascript] OT: Intro

[Theresa Mesa]

Dang. You know what? I know the difference. The class is Intro to 
Javascripting, not Java.

My bad. ;-)

For an old fart (I'm 46 AND female--much in the minority), I'm pretty 
techie. Know my way around InDesign and now Photoshop, and I'm taking a 
class in Illustrator right now (a lot easier than I thought it'd be). 
Next week I start Intro to PHP, Intro to CSS (my web design class's 
section on CSS was pathetic)--yes, I know about the css-d list, Intro 
to Javascripting, and SEO (Search Engine Optimization)-The Write Way. 
Of course, I was hand-coding text on a Compugraphic typesetting station 
in 1979-80--probably before SGML was a glimmer in someone's eye. I'm 
picking up on stuff real fast, and enjoy coding.

I'm working on a Mac--Panther 1-.3.4--and I know enough to stay out of 
and get out of trouble abut 98% of the time. Used to have a PC, but 
went back to the Mac, which I've been using since 1984.

This'll probably be the last you hear of me for a while. I'll be 
reading and learning and running my graphic and web design biz. My 
husband is a Webmaster who is also taking a Javascripting course at the 
local college in the fall (as will I, for the credits)--assuming it 
doesn't get cancelled for the 4th year in a row. I know enough about 
Javascript to be really, really dangerous, that's how little I know (my 
web design class's section on Javascript was equally pathetic). Once I 
start actually compiling code, you'll hear from me and my husband.
