Computer scientists are a group of people who are hard working and talented.

  JavaScript as a First Language

The most interesting aspect of which is that we're likely going to be teaching them JavaScript as their first language.

The page with 30 results took 0.9 seconds. Half a second delay caused a 20% drop in traffic. Half a seco...
