Ask YC: Javascript and server-side programming, which is harder for you? I work as a django/python programmer by day, although I do my fair share of front-end work (mostly template building/cleaning and ajax/javascript/jquery.) Although I've been programming for over half my life, I find that of all the things I do on a regular basis, it's doing DOM manipulation post-ajax call that forces me to do the most mental-judo. Does anyone else find js work more difficult, relatively speaking, than typical server-side work? (And yes, I use jquery.) |
