My Review of Version Control with Git, 2nd Edition

I have used SVN for a little bit on a work project and then another project uses CVS but I found that a lot of projects are using GIT and I thought to myself, "I want to learn GIT" and I got this book to use as a reference.

I have to say this book does an excellent job of going over the basics and then moving into the more advanced topics. I didn't really do much with the advanced stuff as I don't need it but I really like the fact that I am able to quickly look up everything I need with this book.
I also enjoyed the beginning where it gave a basic breakdown of the history of source control and how the different systems work and are different from each other. That was really useful to know.
The main project I'm on at work is about to start using GIT so this is going to be great to be able to reference when I have questions that come up. That way, I don't need to go bug the people that set it up for us.

My Review of Start Here!™ Learn JavaScript

So, in an effort to try to eventually program on the Android platform, I thought it would be a good thing to learn JavaScript. I know a little bit about Java but haven't done anything with JS before. I'm not that great of a programmer but I've done a little with Java, MATLAB/Octave, C, Arduino (C++ variant), LabView, and am dabbling in Python.

I decided to try this book out because I wanted to learn JS. Well, this works well if you program in the .NET world but for people like me, that wasn't very good. There were a few basics at the beginning of the book that help get one going but it's not really much help in really learning the language.
I can't comment on the rest of the book because I know nothing about the .NET framework but I was disappointed in the book because I thought it would be more geared towards learning JS in a general sense, which I would assume from starting here.
