Prerequisites for Creating Chrome/Safari Extensions
I have been a programmer for a long time now but have majorly operated in
C and Fortran. I like to believe I am good at scientific/numerical
computing.
Recently, I had an idea for a browser extension. I did some googling and
realized that Javascript is my best option to do so. I have never in my
life looked at HTML or Javascript or CSS. The Safari and Chrome websites
suggest that I should learn HTML, CSS and Javascript.
My question was- how should I proceed with this goal in mind. I don't plan
to make web applications anytime but want to concentrate only on browser
extensions. How much of HTML and CSS do I really need to know? Do I need
to get that out of the way before attempting to study Javascript? How
should I plan this study?
P.S. I looked at a few books on Javascript and it looks eerily close to C
which is a big plus for me. Learning Javascript isn't my concern, learning
HTML/CSS is.
