Because of its usefulness, I've long thought about whether I should learn JavaScript programming or not. One of the main reasons I kept putting it off was the availability of free, existing scripts. 'Why re-invent the wheel?', I kept asking myself. If I could spend a few minutes searching my favorite sites for scripts (such as JavaScript Source and ScriptSearch), why should I spend my time learning how to write them? And so it went on for several years.

Today, there is a lot more that JavaScript can do and as a result, I've decided the time has come to learn it. My intention is not to become a JavaScript guru or programming genius but to be able to write scripts that I can use in my work, and perhaps share with others.
