Thanks . . . I think.

As someone more used to playing in the enterprise backend software space, I figured that combining html, css, and javascript was the hell required to really get into web dev. Plus adding in the "you're either have taste or not" issue for UI design makes professional web dev sound like so much fun.

You mention using a "decent javascript library." Is this the first step these days? I've gone back and forth whether to go from "first principles" vs just grabbing jQuery and having at it.
