JavaScript

The very first Drupal module I was ever tasked with building was a little widget for displaying portfolio items. You could scroll through thumbnails, three at a time, each successive three being loaded via AJAX, and clicking on any thumbnail loaded a larger image and description, via AJAX of course, for that portfolio item. I was brand new to Drupal and, despite being pretty scared of JavaScript, was thought of as "the AJAX person" on the team (because I had once mentioned that one time I had built something that used AJAX). It was a pretty tall order, from my perspective.
