Should I learn/become proficient in Javascript?

Question

I am a .NET webdev using ASP.NET, C# etc... I \"learned\" javascript in college 5+ years ago and can do basic jobs with it. But I wonder if it is useful to become proficient in

Answer 1

Learning a second programming language is always good. By the sound of it, JavaScript is a language that you use, to it will be of practical use too. As a web dev, it has been recommended to me in a review that i learn at least basic JavaScript.

A library such as jQuery is essential for web development thse days, so you could learn that too.
