I wouldn’t call someone who only knows how to display an alert a “JavaScript programmer” or base what are considered advanced concepts off of them. > Also this guy created jQuery, if he says it's advanced, it probably was. jQuery is a pretty normal library that gained a lot of popularity. It’s not particularly advanced.
