I used to find JavaScript scary. As a language it lets you do all kinds of cool things to the browser, but it also has a tendency to have very ugly code. Through my travels on the internet I came across all kinds of reports about how XSS could steal everything you know without you ever knowing.

But these last few weeks have changed all of that. I decided to rebuild my personal site (as seen here) with javascript. Now it must be understood, I did not code this cool little accordion thingy. The credit for that goes entirely to dezinerfolio.com. I came across these guys through AjaxRain.com and it worked well. The other thing it did was that the source code was included with the compacted code. Through looking at the source I learned that Javascript doesn’t need to be incredibly scary, and with a little work it can even be readable.

Anyway, figured I would share.

p.s. Mongolian BBQ for lunch = YUM.

p.s.s. Fullscreen Editor that now comes with Wordpress rocks. Another reason why Javascript kicks butt.
