Javascript

This tutorial on unobtrusive javascript looks great. When I first saw those tacky 3D logos I thought I was wasting my time, but the examples are perfect, and the 'unobtrusive' philosophy sounds right on.

Back in 2000 or so I despaired of of javascript ever being useful to me. The browser interoperability issues were too great. When I use it in a project it's either copied whole sale from some site I've googled, or i've cajoled a programmer into doing it.

I know if I learned javascript I could use some very handy UI tricks. I loved playing with ActionScript in Flash, so I imagine I'd enjoy using the current standards based brand of Javascript. Someday I'm gong to go back to javascript school and learn it right this time.
