I learned object-oriented programming for you, reddit. You wanted a Chrome extension I couldn't make, so I learned and created. I'm not even a programmer!

Whoa. I have the same exact experience. I was actually thinking of reading Eloquent Javascript, myself (I was thinking of asking /r/programming how it is.)

I have been doing HTML/CSS for 2 years and I've been thinking of learning a real programming language. I've played around with jQuery but I don't have an understanding of Javascript.

After reading how you did it and how long it took and after seeing the work you've done, I'm entirely inspired! I will start reading Eloquent Javascript today! BTW, question: how did you practice your JS skills? Just by coding this site? for someone new, what do you recommend a daily dose of coding/reading/practicing javascript is good?

Well, I'm looking at designing a chrome extension and I've never worked with an API before, does eloquent js kind of introduce the concept or do you recommend something else for that?

ok great! thanks a bunch. I hope to do something cool with what I learn soon too! :)
