Frankly speaking, coding and programing isn't one of greatest suits. It's why I never paid much attention to it. I have only messed with the programming language Python. I didn't do much with it though and I have no further interest in dabbling into it.

JavaScript for life! I love the front-end side of things, so JavaScript will always be my go-to language. I love doing JavaScript work for free forum software as I have done on InvisionFree, ZetaBoards, and now Jcink.

I have heard a lot of good things about JavaScript which makes me believe that those programmers who are working with it are truly enjoying it. I never looking into trying to use it anyways

I’m not much of a coder either. I can code a few things, but that’s about it. I’ma try to learn to do more soon.

Don't get me wrong, I love JavaScript, but if it weren't for jQuery I wouldn't be where I am today. jQuery is how I pretty much learned JavaScript to an even greater extent. There is still plenty I don't know about JavaScript, but it feels like a constant learning cycle that never ends.

The learning never ends if you want to be that good. It's one thing I know about programming and it's somehow touches on other aspects of life. The more you learn is the more you improve.

There's no doubt about that, your knowledge can build daily if you apply yourself with the proper resources and learning tools to improve. I'm lazy, unmotivated, and somewhat old-school when it comes to learning new languages which is probably why I haven't tried applying myself to learning libraries and frameworks such as React, Node.js, and Angular.

Never say never. You may wake up one day and have an attitude change towards everything and that's going push you into exploring all of the others you had neglected.

That's true, though I've never had much use for such frameworks/libraries due to my primary means of coding being on free non-self-hosted message board services. Don't get me wrong, a front-end developer career would be awesome, but there's just so much to learn and a fast-paced market that keeps changing and growing.
