Syria crisis: Army steps up Homs shelling

Eyewitness Danny Abdul Dayem told the BBC the army was using rockets for the first time, with more than 300 falling on his locality since dawn.

"It's not safe at all, a rocket could land in this house right now," he said

Some rebels fighters have been firing automatic weapons in return, in what our correspondent calls a futile gesture.

The rebels claim that the shelling has hit a field hospital in the Baba Amr district, causing casualties. However, our correspondent says this is impossible to verify.

The facility is treating dozens of people wounded in previous assaults on Homs.

Mr Dayem said only one field hospital with four doctors was still operating in the city, and it was virtually impossible to get additional medication without being shot.

Another anti-government campaigner told the BBC the government was also using helicopters and tanks in the assault.

Activists say at least 40 people were killed on Monday.

by scripting tutor

I agree with Chris from Minneapolis. This is a great book, no matter what level of scripting experience you have. I had / have very little java scripting experience and with this book, it is very easy to learn in a way that is geared more toward real-life situations, compared with just some script that a professor or teacher wants to write that has no Besides giving you meant to do. Great book, recommended to anyone of any level of scripting EXPERIENCE!

This book was great for a beginner to Java Script.The exercises were easy to follow and were relevant to real world problems that may need to be resolved. The author keeps things lite and keeps the material interesting. Not only is this written for beginners with little or no programming experience (like me), but I can certainly see come back to this book as a reference as I continue developing with Java Script!
