It has unique challenges, which is something a lot of transplants
(e.g. Java programmers) miss. But it's not impossibly difficult, so
resist the urge to abdicate responsibility to people you don't know
and can't assess (reading their blogs doesn't count). ;)

David (& Larry):

    I've spent most of *my* last 36 years programming in a C-based database 
languages (e.g. FoxBase, FoxPro, Clipper, and xHarbour) -- preceded by 
Fortran IV, and Basic.  I still spend half my day in Javascript and Harbour) 
.

    I still keep getting tangled up in 'switching'  my mind back and forth 
during the day between Harbour and Javascript. Some little things drive me 
nuts: For example, I used the operator '<>'  (meaning not equal to) in JS, 
when I should have used '!='.  This resulted in my being baffled why my page 
wasn't working.  Of course, I started looking in the wrong place and missed 
the incorrect operator usage.  Shoulda checked it out in JSLint I guess.

    My CGI app is coded in Harbour, and I build/edit/transmit pages from the 
CGI app thru Apache to my client.  So, Im using both languages constantly 
and daily during my development.  I've even translated some of the Harbour 
functions to JS, so that I can use them in both environments (e.g., Function 
Alltrim(cSomeString)  ), etc, etc

    A weird, brain-busting life.
