For now, Synchronet JavaScript Object Model Refernce has been my best friend in working with JS. as I understand Baja more, I often open the baja Documentation along side as the js model reference and compare the two, and it seem to help me along.

So far, all my experence in JS has been with Synchronet. When I work with code thats not specificly for Synchronet, I use google to help me solve most of my problems. I'm a complete newby when it comes to js, but I find it enjoyable to learn, and make things work on my system that make it different from others. So far, Rob and Eric have been a big help to me with my attempts.

Well, I use Visual Studio Code on my MacBook and Notepad++ on my Win10 machine, and it seems to help me a lot, as the different colors seem to help point out my mistakes. Hopefully one day, I will get to fully understand all the nuances in the code, and do something usefull with it.

My bigest hurdle for now is my poor spelling, which accounts for a large amounts of my errors. I'm constantly going back and correcting things to make my attempts work. all an all, I'm happy with my progress, at least I can make things work now, and that was a milestone for me. 

Thanks for all your help, and discussion on this.
