this is my first time posting to hacker news, so sorry if i made any faux pas. i've done html and css before, but i started learning javascript/node.js a few months ago. my background is in hardware engineering at apple (with some experience in C and java), and recently i've decided to get into software/web app development (with this being a project to sink my teeth into). needless to say, i'm not a fan of javascript :-)
