===================

#### What is this?
__Short Answer:__ Learn javascript by proving concepts with tests. :)
__Longer Answer:__ This is a compilation of Javascript "code snippets" as I work through resources to master Javascript. Each resource (book/guide/tutorial/etc) has it's own folder with [Jasmine](http://pivotal.github.io/jasmine/) tests proving how the concepts apply in a semi real world context.
