I did the JS courses but I didn't learn enough - or retain enough. Something's not clicking. As soon as I get a fucking moment of free time I really want to do this 6 week program. Between design class, a clusterfuck manic workplace, working as a mermaid on the weekends for another 3 months cuz my coworker is 9 months pregnant and Ariel ain't pregnant, I just don't have time. It's 9:43pm and I just walked in my house. I left at 7am this morning to get to work early to power through marketing materials without disruptions. /rant

That link's excellent, post saved. I'm midway through the HTML course on codeacademy at the moment; haven't programmed a thing since junior high liberty basic. It's been interesting.

The mermaid bit was unexpected.

Haha. You know, I was thinking about it -- I think you could get some time off by persuading your boss/coworker that a pregnant Ariel is a feminista statement.
