AI Thread Summary
For those looking to enhance their JavaScript skills, several resources are highly recommended. The Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) offers a comprehensive JavaScript Guide that serves as a valuable reference. Additionally, using tools like the Firebug add-on for Firefox can significantly aid in learning. "Eloquent JavaScript" is another notable resource, along with "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide," which is considered essential reading. Douglas Crockford's "JavaScript: The Good Parts" is highlighted for its insights into the language, emphasizing the importance of understanding both its strengths and pitfalls. These resources collectively provide a solid foundation for programmers already familiar with coding.

Not a guide but learning is always helped with the right tools. If you're going to work with Javascript, make sure that you have https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ installed.

Save yourself a lot of pain by reading "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford. Javascript is a wonderful language, with some parts in it that you'd be wise to avoid. Here it is on Amazon. It is now considered a classic by computer sci. folks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0596517742/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
