“As a business guy I have no place in programming.” Ten years ago, you would have gotten away with that easily. Today, you say that to your friends and they scoff at you quickly before they go back to their computers to fix actual problems and do real work.

So how do you get started? If you want to learn something useful, JavaScript is the way to go. In these days when the browser is becoming more and more central to all computer use, knowing “the language of the browser” is the most important step!

Now, a few years ago, you’d be marked out as a weirdo for saying something like that. There’d probably be some kind of witch-burning ceremony or something, because JavaScript was this stupid language which had stupid syntax and stupid scope and was used to do stupid things by stupid people and just led to awful spaghetti code and killed kittens.

These days competent programmers have started to identify its real potential and uses, and it’s gone from an incompetent toy to the main language of the browser. It’s become cool. And I don’t mean cool as in “look at this cool bouncing text”; I mean cool as in “hey, check out that cool guy over there writing JavaScript, look how cool he is!”.

So… what’s it gonna be? Are you gonna hop on the cool bandwagon and start programming using useful languages with “Introduction to Javascript”, or are you going to wait a couple of years until everything you learned in college is completely obsolete?

About Mark– The Guy Behind LearnToProgram.tv

Mark Lassoff’s parents frequently claim that he was born to be a programmer. In the mid-eighties, when the neighborhood kids were outside playing kickball and throwing snowballs, Mark was hard at work on his Commodore 64 writing games in the BASIC programming language. Computers and programming continued to be a strong interest in college where Mark majored in Communications and Computer Science. After completing his college career, Mark worked in the software and web development departments at several large corporations.

In 2001, on a whim, while his contemporaries were conquering the dot com world, Mark accepted a position training programmers in a technical training center in Austin, Texas. It was there that Mark fell in love with teaching programming, which has been his passion ever since. Today Mark is a top technical trainer, traveling the country providing training for software and web developers.

About your instructors

Guy Vaccaro
IT Developer/Trainer

Born in England in 1966 just 3 days after England last won the World Cup means that whilst Guy has been building his training experience across the Retail and Business world he has also been waiting for the impossible- another win for England. Luckily Guy having an Italian father, not only gave him Latin good looks, but more importantly another team to follow and Italy proved a stronger bet having won the World Cup twice during his time on the planet (and twice before 1966!)

After his degree in Italian and IT, the perfect combination, Guy ended up in the Retail sector and worked up through management until, making use of his ability to communicate with others, he switched to training.

Over the years these training skills have been honed in a variety of environments from shop floor to classroom to manuals to online moving from a purely Retail base to a wider IT skillset.

Guy refers to his own IT education as being from the outside in, rather than the inside out, that is he has learnt to use computers through their interface with humans and not from the binary code that creates the wonders of modern software. This outside in approach has meant that he has the ability to empathise with learners in whatever environment he teaches (classroom or online). An empathy that helps Guy to be patient and explain concepts and activities in a variety of modes to ensure that learning has taken place.

Over the past few years Guy has authored a number Infinite Skills titles ranging from the market leader in Business Reporting Crystal Reports through all the applications contained in the Microsoft Office Suite.

Outside of the working environment you will find Guy with his two children and their ponies being dragged around the length and breadth of the country to various Pony Club competitions.

Dallas—February 14, 2012—SoftLayer Technologies today announced the immediate worldwide availability of SoftLayer Object Storage, a redundant and highly scalable cloud storage service that allows users to easily store, search and retrieve data across the Internet, with optional CDN connectivity, or across SoftLayer’s global private network.

Based on OpenStack Object Storage (code-named Swift), SoftLayer’s Object Storage solution incorporates additional features including integrated indexing and search, rich metadata, CDN support and integration into SoftLayer’s management toolset.

A primary benefit of object-based storage is the role it can play in automating and streamlining data storage in cloud computing environments, particularly suited to managing and archiving large quantities of static information such as virtual machine images, graphic files and email. SoftLayer Object Storage adds a rich metadata system for describing, categorizing and indexing objects, and full search functionality for greater flexibility in object retrieval.

“Object Storage gives our users an easy, scalable way to store and retrieve data,” said Marc Jones, director of product innovation for SoftLayer. “With our search functionality, SoftLayer Object Storage customers can efficiently find and retrieve objects from the store based on user-definable tags, extending their data management capabilities beyond traditional object storage services.”

Key features include:

• Integrated Indexing and Search: Quickly access information through user-defined metadata key-value pairs, file name or unique identifier.
• Worldwide Storage Fabric:Storage clusters in North America, Europe and Asia, all connected via a private network provide secure data replication and transfer.
• Redundant Architecture: Data is written multiple times per cluster with self-healing capabilities to immediately restore data in case of drive failure. Data can be replicated across SoftLayer’s global data center footprint.
• Flexible Data Distribution:Highly scalable read/write access gives users the ability to serve content directly from the storage system or via the SoftLayer CDN.
• Consumption-Based Pricing: Per-gigabyte pricing allows customers to control costs, with no charge for private and inbound public network traffic.
• Powerful Management Toolkit: Full integration into SoftLayer Customer Portal, mobile applications, and a RESTful API provides full range of human or machine access.

Pricing and Availability

SoftLayer Object Storage is immediately available in the U.S. with global reach coming by the end of February. Prices start at 12 cents per gigabyte plus outbound network utilization.

Learn to create a web design that automatically conforms itself to multiple screen sizes. This course will show you a step-by-step process for creating a design that rearranges content, resizes elements, and adapts itself based on the size of your visitor’s screen size.

Learn how to reposition the main navigation of the site based on the device browsing your website.

We’ll create a web design that makes use of HTML5 and CSS3, while maintaining backwards compatibility with older browsers. The secret ingredient of CSS3 that makes this all possible is the media querying capability. CSS media queries allow us to define CSS rules based on screen size, and ultimately give us precise control over how our designs adapt to different screen sizes. In addition to adjusting layout, we’ll explore using CSS to define all imagery in our design, allowing us to send optimized imagery along with our customized design experience.

Apply varied amounts of compression to images to optimize download speeds across devices.

Course includes HTML, CSS, and Photoshop templates for use in your own multiscreen web design projects.
