Yup! JavaScript is one thing that keeps coming up everywhere be it GeoGebra, Adobe Acrobat or The Internet. The "public opinion" is much divided whether the language really is worthy of having the status that is accorded to it.
But putting the multiple criticism aside, when I think of what JavaScript would enable me to achieve is enough for me to go through with it anyway.
Things like,
** Being able to control the behavior of my Web Browser, especially in light of the countless advertisements and pop-ups I am bombarded by every time I wish to surf the Internet. Seriously people, Wayy too many useless ads on sites these days!
** The ability to able to code with absolutely no Environment-setup is a definite plus point for me. I would love to be able to Own the Web-browser and the be able to solve problems, experiment with various approaches even when I am on a computer as a guest or say, on a Computer which is not quite up to date. Another reason in Favor of JavaScript!
** It's a good skill to have, I wish to be as independent in future as possible so working on putting up a web-site et cetera is easy as well as a desirable skill. Plus, I get to improve my own blogs through this experience.
Well, I think this is another reminder of the promise that I made to you guys previously. About giving this blog a good upgrade, a bit of personality.
** Being able to experiment with zillions of JavaScript libraries like D3.js, Node.js et cetera for visualizations and then to port those ideas over to Anaconda Scripts is another way to improve my skills in Python.
I truly believe that understanding the Internet is only going to help my cause in Future. I need to understand how the Internet works - It's gonna simplify my life to no end. There is no escaping the Internet, why not own it;P
Though I am not entirely unaware of the fact that Internet is an ocean of Technologies so there would always be so so many things that I don't know but with JavaScript literacy I would be able to learn new things in a more effective way for my purpose.
Again, the PURPOSE is to be able to do Mathematics and Physics with Computers. Not once have my conviction wavered and I assure you all this experimentation is gonna end up improving my computer literacy manifolds. I don't have time to go through all the exercises in a Mathematics books, the same is true with the Physics books. My solution - grasp the concepts and always aim for tough problems which are an intellectual challenge and help us consolidate the knowledge that we have earned through the theory by practical application. Fast and Elegant solutions - all done at a lightning fast speed by my buddy Computer.
As Richard Feynman said :-
Oh!
Good News, I have switched over to the LINUX computer, at least for the length of this project. I think, I am totally gonna have a LINUX Desktop in future, with a Mac book Pro as my Working environment. That's the environment that suits my believes and my working style.
I am soon gonna start posting these posts from within Emacs. That's one piece of software that surprises me continuously. Totally in love with the Emacs and Elisp. Looking forward to getting back to the
P.S. I notice that being able to change things, programatically does make one, more of a control freak. All the same no, "With Great Powers, comes Great Responsibilities";P

"What I cannot create - I do not understand !"
Implication being - " Know how to solve every problem that has been solved".
In this age, in our times , it's not about manual labor - it's about the sheer Creativity that we can unleash.
