She digested JavaScript from the beginner's standpoint, brought musicians together at The Song Force, with other fingers busy concocting more pies.
Social Security
Positions, proposals and answers, from online.com
Confusion has been the name of the game when it comes to Social Security. Leslie Grey Harper wanted the answers from the official sources. She has assembled them in a series of webpages on what needs to be done to assure the Social Security system will not fail those who are counting on it, what the real situation is. She has more information on retirement plans and personal savings.

The Song Force
From years of following musicians from bar to bar in the New York City area, and earlier years learning to play bluegrass in rural Virginia, chief website architect Leslie G. Harper has pulled together the most exciting musicians she knows and loves to form a nucleus meeting place for musicians and afficionados who want to dig deeper into waves of sound.
Her contacts include James McNary, multi-faceted in his own right, who was in the process of setting up a family group of related websites with some of the students in his JavaScript and HTML classes. Music is a lifelong love of McNary's. Working together, TheSongForce.us and BluJaiArts.com cover a broad spectrum of the arts, as well as offering interesting products for sale. McNary's BluJai Group will develop further as more students join with their own sites.
The Song Force salutes the work of St. Paul's House, Inc., a non-profit organization which hosts the computer classes which led to its founding.
JavaScript Help, from online.com
Designing for the internet is the natural destiny of Leslie G. Harper. She concentrated in advertising and marketing during a business administration major in college, then taught advertising at the college level in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley prior to coming to New York, where she got a job in a computer store. This led to her into computer training and software development at the store.
While working with a major record company, she developed studio billing software. Later, as an independent consultant, she designed software for a financial services firm to manage the client's investments and transactions.
As the internet became more essential to small business, she began learning the necessary languages to develop websites ... not necessarily in the right order! This led to a need to quickly jump in and write pages around Java objects, with no basic understanding of why Java was being used to perform tasks JavaScript might have done more easily, and no conception of what is obsolete HTML and what is state-of-the-art.
During the process of learning JavaScript, she set up for her own use a set of lessons on the topics she needed to be able to remember in detail. Some of these topics are explained only in technical documents which are opaque to novices. Some of the technical documents are themselves obsolete, as newer browsers and newer versions of HTML step over the old techniques and attempt to whisk them away as "deprecated."
The JavaScript Help spot is a growing work, which someday will sport its own index, and which is updated with additional information as quickly as it can be gathered and digested. It covers
- JavaScript
- Basic HTML
- Cascading Stylesheets
- Browser Idiosyncrasies
- Programming Advice
- Links to Resources - In Depth
Two versions of JavaScript Help are available. The second JavaScript Help is in Netscape's slideshow format, based on a "presowin" presentation template. The files it uses are essentially the same exact files as the regular JavaScript Help, except for the slideshow mechanism, and the fact that the stylesheet is different, making them seem different pages.
