JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts

YouTube

The first thing this course  has you do is download and install the Brackets editor. It took me five tries, before I got this done - but it was worth it. 

One important effect of the Internet has been its impact on education. You can now get an good education in nearly anything (especially in Software Development) by taking online courses - that are free, or cost little. YouTube is full of them.

This reflects a huge change in Education itself - it wants to be free, and available to everyone! The more students it has this way, the more prestigious the organization, or person, sponsoring it is.

These courses are backed up by conferences, that anyone can attend, where you can see and be seen by everyone in the field.

This course is an excellent example of what can be done with JavaScript - something every Computer person needs to know about. Contrast it with the Wikipedia entry for this. The instructor is determined to teach you, exactly what you need to know - and does a good job of this.
