I am an English major/former English teacher/linguist who now teachers computer science. People think I'm nuts, but the connections are so obvious to me. Thank you!

I come from a literary background myself and picked up basic web technologies just a few months back. The problem is that I am just not making progress in the sense of developing my own style. I can read js scripts now and implement them on a daily basis but simply cannot bring myself to write any original stuff on my own. Have written a few basic scripts using jquery but what i would like to do is develop plugins and extensions. I understand how-to but some middle step is missing. I don't know what. How much time do you think it will take me (basically a content person) to master php and javascript? Hi Matt,

Please note that "The large, red tree" would be "Le grand arbre rouge" in French (arbre being masculin). This does not change anything to the relevance of your point. M. Very interesting.
