Progress Log: 02.21.16

After a weekend with Matt and Phillip, some private work.

Today, reading Eloquent Javascript, also, The Organized Mind.

The Organized Mind:     This book is mostly fluff. What I did learn today in the time management chapter was that multitasking is energy-intensive, much more energy-intensive than focusing or daydreaming. We must train ourselves to focus and use our energy in ways that makes sense for the tasks at hand.

Eloquent Javascript:
Chapter 1. Values, Types, and Operators:     Learned about the ternary, or conditional, operator in JS. Short-circuiting of logical operators. Precisely equal and precisely not equal (=== and !==) operators should be used "defensively" in case of automatic type conversion or cases in which a non-meaningful value (NaN, undefined, null) is received.

Chapter 2. Program Structure:     The requirements of when to use semicolons in js are confusing, so just end your statements with them for now. 'var' keyword.
