JS Array reverse

My absence.

I have been neglecting to post here as I told myself I would; yet I lost the muse that led me to make this blog.

Chris Williams has a “State of the Union” address for the JS community from JSconf.eu that has re-invigorated me. He said “We are not JavaScripters, not pythonistas, not rubyists - we are programmers. We need to improve ourselves in as many programming languages as we can get our minds around, because every language forces you to view the world in a slightly different way. ” I need to look at the other programming languages not as how I’d rather be in JS, but the good benefits they have in themselves.

That being said, I am not going to be posting only about JS, but I will still be posting the intermediate tricks I’ve found in whatever language I’m looking at.

I am also going to be starting my one Server to host a couple of comic sites, and will post about that progress periodically. The project includes finding a “outdated” tower that is claimed to be useless and repurpose it into a nginx-PHP-node server for serving well-built sites.

Please stick with me, as Rixi.us will only become better and better.

Typecasting, and making sure you get what you want.

Typecasting is something pervalent in PHP and other languages, it allows you to pressure a variable into the type you want.
