A bit frustrated at work. Things are disorganized, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing, so naturally I'm trying to do everything. Next week things should get a bit more organized and give me more direction, so I'm looking forward to that.

Of course, I'm not much of a coder, but I've been learning a bit so it's been a grand experience. My first code submission was a "400-line monstrosity that doesn't require code obfuscation." Hahahahaha. Oops. In my defense, it was 400 lines because I used a ton of functions, trying to break the logic down and there's a lot of comments and debugging. Plus I had to implement functionality to allow for different test cases. Once the final spec for the feature is released, I should be able to cut down the code some.

Some of the work I've been trying to do is the whole reason why Ajax has become so popular. In essence, it's a hack to get around the fact that http is stateless. It's a lot of work ...hey the results are worth it.

Saw a link on Justin's site for transparent screens ... and of course I just *had* to do it for my tablet PC. So I rpesent to you, my transparent tablet PC:

What resources are you using to learn "ajax"? Im currently trying to scope out some good books on javascript DOM and going back to the dhtml days.

Not sure if there really is much to 'learn.' Just read a tutorial; it's really light on implementation I believe. It's just a matter of integrating XHTML/CSS and DOM.
