Flashes of Panic

I spent a good chunk of this afternoon in a language I don’t use much anymore. Specifically, I added a little Javascript ease-of-use widget to one of our site administration pages.

I used to be better with Javascript than I am now, back when it was the only way to do anything much on a website. When I started working with PHP a few years ago, I left Javascript pretty much behind, but they have a lot in common, so this time I’m coming at it from a different direction.

Still, like any time you work with a second language, I had to put more of my brain into what I was doing. It was fun. I wish I could get that hooked in to a project every day.
