Agreed...I guess the thing that causes me to hesitate is that I usually experience seeing Javascript on this list. Of course, what I see here is far beyond beginner stuff, usually.
It's not so much that I don't think I can learn it, or climb the learning curve as much as do I have time away from CF coding that makes money now to dedicate to JS, which I don't have much call for with the "low-level" CF work I do now, which is basically building update, delete, and addition functions for website calendars, announcements, photos galleries, etc. I'm an independent web designer/programmer/trash-taker-outer, so there's no one around demanding functionality that would demand JS, so I just don't take the time. I need some "2-minute tutorials" that, within a few lessons, can give me something practical to use. As far as future jobs with web design...I don't have any kind of computer programming or technical degrees, so without credentials, I'd never be hired by a company that required JS, anyway. I'm just looking at how practical it is to learn and implement JS. I do love a good challenge, however...get the blood pumping!

There may be a number of different ways to communicate what ++ does, but we all know the concept of what it does, translation aside. -Joe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
