		<description><![CDATA[My favorite thing about web development is the wide variety of skills it uses.  Being a good developer means staying on your toes and always learning, because there are so many important skills and these are constantly changing.

Here's a checklist of 10 skills that are some of the most important for good web developers to have.  These focus a bit on front-end skills, but they apply to all developers:

		<description><![CDATA[When I started developing I was fortunate enough to have an experienced friend who pointed me to all the right articles, websites, etc.  The right tools make all the difference and this educational jumpstart was exactly what I needed to hit the ground running.

Now that I've gathered a good deal of Javascript knowledge and used a wide variety of Javascript resources, I'd like to share these so that others can experience the same benefit I did.  And don't stop reading if you already know Javascript inside and out: there's resources here for all skill levels, from noob to pro.

1. Mozilla Developer Center

The Mozilla Development Center should be your starting point for all things Javascript.

Beginners should start with the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide" rel="nofollow">Core Javascript Guide</a>.  Javascript can be a really confusing language at first and going through each of these pages will make you comfortable with Javascript's peculiar syntax and methods.  (It's way better than w3schools.com)
