Jenny posted about an interesting article over at Particletree called Levels of Web Development Knowledge. My favorite article, which I was cracking up over, was Dean Edwards’ Levels of JavaScript Knowledge, which actually has 6 variants of JavaScript Hello World code to demonstrate 6 levels of JavaScript developer expertise. I love it!

It’s fun because, if you’ve been in the business for a bit, you can look at the levels and recall when you were there. Of course, the new kids coming into the business are learning the modern methods up front and may have never even coded in the lower levels. For a while, though, there was no better way to do things reliably. JavaScript support has come a long way recently.

I’m only at level 5 right now, but I’ve been aware of level 6, trying to wrap my brain around it, and will hopefully begin coding in that manner soon.
