Now onto the next subject - JavaScript

Now on to the next subject to learn - JavaScript. Using three books Mark, our work area's GUI guru, graciously loaned me. Next week will start on the company's online JavaScript course as well. Currently enjoying a yummy iced mocha at Parkville Coffee while I study and people watch. Place is packed! It's an absolutely gorgeous day, so will only spend a few hours studying. Then, later this afternoon, indulge in a very long walk with the Lilly (our dog) at the park. Then start on my dreaded to-do list I've been putting off. Would go astronomy observing tonight but clouds are forecasted to move in this evening and not clear out until after midnight. Darn. I'm getting a bit addicted to working on my astronomy Messier objects award. So far have nearly 40 logged. It's kind of cool as you first need to find the object in the sky (which can sometimes be very challenging as some objects are extremely faint even with my 10 inch Dob telescope). Then stare at it for awhile, sketching it in the log book, and log the conditions and what scope and eyepiece you're using. For me, at least, it takes about 10-30 minutes for each object as I like to enjoy the process. With frequent breaks due to tons of bending over, taking time to drink a ton of coffee, having to wait around as clouds move in and out over the course of the evening, getting distracted looking at other objects (planets, the moon, and non-Messier objects) and giving your body breaks often? About 14 objects is pretty good for one evening. Ok, need to give Facebook a break and dive into the beginner's book and start studying. Glanced through it yesterday. It looks like it'll be fun to learn JavaScript!
