Chapter 12. Epilogue
This is another reason I wanted my own book. After clawing your way
to the last page of the last chapter of one of those other Web
publications whose page count is rivaled perhaps only by the
Holy Bible
and War and
Peace
, what do you usually get? A few appendixes and an
index. Thatâs great, but thatâs like climbing to the top
of a mountain and having nothing to look down upon. Whereâs the
sense of accomplishment?
If you made it to this side of the book, youâve come a long way, and not just by the number of pages you turned. Think about how good a JavaScript coder you were when you first thumbed through these pages at the store and decided to buy it. Think of what you know now. Itâs a good feeling to witness your own development and take a few steps closer to the top.
Of course, we can enjoy our success, but we shouldnât get too comfortable. Technology is changing at the speed of competition. As soon as this book hits the shelves, developers will likely have whipped up another batch of JavaScript extensions and techniques. Iâm going to check them out ASAP. Let me know if you run into any good ones. Câya on the Net.
