Earlier today I ventured out to begin my apprenticeship of the world of .js since I have avoided it for many years. The first task was to make the New Post link in the navigation show the form to input a new post. I also wanted this to slide down and look all awesome. With a little research I was able to find many websites with useful information.

Since at the moment I only needed to do this one JavaScript task, I decided to go with the straight code and not a framework that would involve some overhead. At a later time when I involve more .js I will look at the many frameworks or packages or whatever they call themselves to see if they would be more suited to the many tasks.

Soon I will be AJAX.

When I think of AJAX I kinda think of the letter A with metal arms like that Jax guy from Mortal Kombat.

I use webfaction to host a lot of my django projects. It has an easy setup that will get you developing quickly and a great community of talented programmers. There is also a quick setup for rails, wordpress, and a lot more.
