My stint with javascripting

for quiet some time now i had this opnion that javascript would never become the "thing" for web developers looking to make animation and effect oriented webpages ...
guess what, i was utterly wrong....tough it took some sweet time to get into the mainstream, its now as u say ,"arrived finally!"v
with a firm backing of the developer community specially google, its by far the current bigthing
So, tough a bit reluctantly , i finally took the plunge...the start was a bit jittery, nothin "beautiful" came up at first. But then i came across Scriptaculous .
To give u and example , open the Gucci webpage . On first hit i was right clicking here and there just to confirm if it was flash or not!!! and to my jaw dropping surprise there wasn't a hint of flash.
suede i must say.
Then came moo.fx by mad4milk (;) nevamind the xx name ..its really clean and gud piece of script)
the first time i used it...it was for my resume page..back in 2006 (some month...i don't remember)
its super light and smooth...
i'm just mesmerised by the accordion it offers.....
lately moo.fx has metamorphosized into mootools...which has some new,better,and smoother features.It also includes class implementations of AJAX..so that makes life a whole lot simpler...
so watever be the present state of javascript, it sure holds the key to the future....

Link to my resume...done wid moo.fx

This is the html version of the template i posted last time along...tough not done fully...just has a few links( 2 to be precise :D) btw can anyone help me out with irregular shaped buttons in html....and yes this one's only for ppl on the IIT network...outsiders..the link wudn't open :(
