  • Answer:

    Can you clone the javascript functions of say... Quora, Facebook or even Twitter? jQuery, Ajax and all that jazz. Edit: Well, if the clients applications wasn't strong in javascript - I would say yes you're ready. However, if it is a huge company like Facebook, or Twitter whom uses about 40% javascript then I would say no. Also, why haven't you learned Javascript yet? This should be your next step, open up your editing program and get to work! Loads of competition -.-
