I was pretty surprised by how much I could get done with just plain JS. I ended up writing about 50 lines of JS to do everything I wanted to do, plus a bit extra to collect some anonymous metrics about what folks were learning.

Listeners of JS Party know I’m an advocate for JavaScript sprinkles. Not on every site, but on most sites I think that’s the best way to start out.

Now more than ever, you can get a lot done with what’s right there in the browser. Wait until you feel the pain before you solve the problem. Who knows, maybe you’ll never have to…
