Technical difficulties

I think it's time to write something about what i want to share through this blog. My learning process as i keep digging deeper and deeper into the world of front-end and back-end development. It's not easy and it take some time until you can easily solve a problem. Debug somebody elses code but let's just not go so far, debug your own code. Or imagine that you get an offer from a client to make her website more interactive and user friendly. Oh yeah and maybe she wants to make a webshop or something that needs some server side programming with database handling as well. And the list could be much longer.
What i meant with it is that you have to invest the right amount of time. Practice a lot, read many books and articles as you can in this topic. Watch tutorial videos, that can help a lot. I would suggest to find the right person who really knows how to teach how to make clear these things. I think Jeffrey Way is really good in that. He has a bunch of articles and tutorials on tuts+, i definitely recommend to check them out.

So let's get to coding. The basics of javascript and jquery are more or less in my pocket. Or the syntax at least. But here comes the fun. If you are into bigger projects (as you probably would) there is'nt enough to just drag the scripts into a .js file and reference it in the html file. You should make your code as clear as it's possible. It's also very important where and when you get into the DOM. And there comes into play the Object Oriented Programming. I think you should already clear with that if not read this article. I'm not gonna able to write that down so good as the author (Richard) has on that page. If you're like to build a plugin or an application this knowledge is the must have.
That would be it for today. See you soon.
