I just received my official certification as a "CIW JavaScript specialist". I have decided how to use the knowledge I gained in the class -- which is to know that I should avoid having to use JavaScript at all whenever possible. I made a similar decision in 1973 after taking a class on IBM mainframe Job Control Language. So far, that seems to have been a good decision. JavaScript is, I must admit, a better language than JCL. But compared to Python? Gimme a break!
