Customer Reviews:
  1. Well done, intelligent, clear and useful; but not for the complete novice
    I recently became the maintainer for a site that uses a bit of JavaScript. Surprisingly, I have no previous experience writing or maintaining anything in JavaScript, so I needed to get up to speed, if only to know what is going on. To help me out, I picked up a copy of Shelley Powers' new book,...
  2. Not for Beginners!
    I have to concur that while this book is marketed as a book for newcomers to javascript, it is too full of unexplained terminology for the beginner. I am very familiar with HTML and CSS, and the introduction to this book claims that should have been good enough for a starting point, but here I am...

Resources Committee Opens Hearings On Oil Tax Bill

Dave Donaldson, APRN – Juneau

The Senate Resources Committee late Friday afternoon opened a series of hearings on a bill changing the state’s oil tax regime. Revenue Commissioner Brian Butcher has been before the Committee explaining the oil production downturn that he says began about the time the legislature passed the current tax on company profits as worldwide oil prices began to increase.  The Senate Finance Committee begins informational hearings Monday morning comparing Alaska to other oil-rich parts of the world.

Senate Votes To Increase School Funding

Dave Donaldson, APRN – Juneau

The Senate today passed the bill increasing funding for local schools by $30-million in next years’ budget.   During both Education Committee and Finance Committee hearings,  school boards and administrators have said that they need much more than that to avoid laying off teachers and cutting programs.      In floor debate, Education Co-chair Joe Thomas – a Democrat from Fairbanks – called it a modest increase of about two percent on an annual basis.    He said the cost of not funding education is too expensive.   He pointed to the correlation between education and corrections,  saying that the money spent on the new Goose Creek Prison would be equal to a $1-thousand per student increase.  And operating it wil equal a $200 per student increase – every year.

Evaluating jQuery Learning Material

Hey guys. Quite regularly, I'll get e-mails and tweets from readers asking what are the best resources to use for learning more jQuery. My answer to these questions is always the same, but it occurred to me that, rather than simply pointing readers to only one or two links would be much more helpful if I showed them how to assess for themselves whether a learning resource that is the worth spending their time on.

This greatly expands the network of resources you might consider the use and is not limited to a small finite set of sites that can not cover everything, it is useful to know. There are a lot of great educational content on jQuery out there and to help assess right from wrong, I put together what (in my opinion) are the important factors to consider when selecting learning materials in a slide deck below .

Let me stress that these are the factors that I personally use when selecting resources.I'm not in any way an expert to evaluate the merits of jQuery educational content, but I'm putting on this blog if it helps others. If you find it useful, please pass it along!...
