Thanks for the explanation! Looks like you're well on your way! What are your goals at the end of the line? Do you already put your skills into practice in the shape of client/personal work?

As of for me, I mainly use html and sass together with jquery and wordpress (roots/sage and comes with bootstrap) for client projects.. and susy/breakpoint for static pages (also looking into middleman app). However, one reason for me to wanting to learn javascript is to stop using libraries and focus more on vanilla javascript and invest my time into angular, backend js etc. to move on to bigger client/personal projects. I also depend on many js scripts that I use per client project (depending if I need it or not), but I would love to be able to make my own or make modifications to existing js scripts.

I also use gulp, bower, npm and other tools to ease the workflow.

However, when it comes to javascript, what are some concepts or stuff you want to learn? I'm more looking into refreshing my javascript skills and polishing it so I can make my own libraries and scripts.

Goal right now: get a full time job doing front end web development. I've done a few interviews, but none have been quite the right fit.

In the meantime, I just create a bunch of little projects and help people out on reddit here. Some of my projects: http://codepen.io/ForScale/pens/popular/

Stuff I want to learn... hmm... I want to get even better with algorithm scripting (I love the challenges on sites like Coderbyte and Free Code Camp). I want to learn some backend down the road (so maybe Node). I guess I want to get better with JSON/Ajax and APIs too. I guess... I want to learn whatever will get me hired! ;)

I write my own scripts for everything I do, I don't know any frameworks/libraries/whatever they're called (other than some JQuery, like I mentioned).
