I am a Web Developer – and so you would think that I use JavaScript as a routine part of my job.
However, until recently I have been mainly involved writing “server-side” Visual Basic or C# code in the ASP.NET Web Forms model. In that model, when a user clicks a button (or hyperlink) on a web page or makes a selection in a drop-down control this invariably results in a post back to the server which responds to the client-side action, and then completely refreshes the page.
In the previous paragraph I wrote “until recently”, and that is because for the 2 or 3 years, JavaScript has become a significant part of my job.
