Fortunately, the last few years have also seen the rise of JavaScript libraries that take a lot of the pain out of client-side programming.

After completing his B.S. in Computer Science at Duke, David worked for his alma mater for two years, building web applications for various groups on campus. It was during his time at Duke that David fell in love with Ruby on Rails, and when Viget moved to Durham, he knew it was a match made in nerd heaven.
