week six day one
I'm actually quite enjoying Effective JavaScript. It's very easy to extract salient points from. (Sidenote: It's so badass that we knocked out the first week of Ruby in one day with JavaScript. It certainly confirms how far we've come.)
Ruby and JavaScript's prospective strengths are also starting to become clear to me. Ruby seems great for effortlessly throwing up lighter functionality, whereas JS is more of the workhorse of the two. It's a bit tougher to wrestle with, though. I think the only language I'd ever need to know that digs even deeper is something like C/C++, but that's clearly for another day, if ever. I'd rather invest that time in learning more about algorithms and machine learning.
Bleh, I need to start bringing Asprin to class. These headaches are getting obnoxious.
