I'm always learning programming, or "how to code", coming from several angles. I'm ever curious to learn more Javascript, what with it's being a moving target and now having Node.
I've always been a REPL guy, meaning I like my languages interactive. dBase was my home base for so many years, flavors thereof, up through Visual FoxPro version 9, a Microsoft product. REPL means Read (the user's command), Evaluate (perform said service), Print (share results), Loop (do it again!).
I'm not some super-duper programmer who quickly embraces new skills or whatever. I struggle to have a niche in some environment with a fast moving current. Geeks have that constant battle to remain current in a few areas, while lagging in others, and foraying on ahead in yet other respects.
Tonight I focused on input and output through file objects, using JSON and CSV files for my main examples. I had Facebook stuff about me, sucked from their API some time ago, now just a text fragment. We played "Where's Waldo" against data structures. Kinda fun.
