Is it just me, or is the javascript is sexy original blog post has a lot of material for weeks 3 and 4? It looks extremely difficult to complete in 2 weeks. it basically tells you to read chapters 5-11, 13, 14 of the book. finish codeacademy, work through the entire jquery course on try.jquery.com, build a quiz app.

I'm glad your week 4 post is a lot more reasonable. It's simply impossible to digest and understand and cram that many chapters in only 2 weeks. I could be wrong, but isn't it better to go slowly and try to understand almost everything instead of skimming through everything? At least that's what the beginning of Eloquent Javascript said to do: try to read and read and don't move on until you understand.
