Add video views to your Facebook Timeline:

This tutorial will cover the really basic things about JavaScript, mainly proper syntax of strings, method of script inclusion, and the commonly used alert() and document.write().

To those of a keen eye, you'll get a glimpse of my recent history at 1:33, and for that I apologize.

"absolutely necessity": that should be "absolute."

The error message display comes courtesy of Firebug, an incredibly useful Firefox add-on.

The song is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

(Those with epilepsy should stop watching this tutorial about ten seconds before its end to be safe...)

    Interestingly enough, that sort of thing is entirely possible with a bit of custom JavaScript injected through user scripting...

    Taking into account the eccentricities of genetics, I'm going to presume it's different for each person. In recent memory, listening to a varied combination of Disturbed, Rise Against, Linkin Park, and Demetri Martin has caused me to be the most productive.

  • Well, yes, I'm ...

    Well, yes, I'm rather certain the idea that certain types of music help to retain new information is backed by scientific study, but I presume the most helpful type of music differs from person to person; classical music (particularly Beethoven's "Fur Elise" and "Flight of the Bumblebee" -- which I used in one of the other tutorial videos) has always been beneficial to me, though. Whenever I settle down with a new book, I always throw on a bit of Beethoven...
