For me the biggest thing has to be RegExp, like I've seen it being discussed and have read a tuto or two about the subject but I can't quite fully grasp it and together with the fact that I don't really need it or use it as much makes it even less likely I will "get" anytime soon.

If you do need it in the future, The Coding Train has a great series on it. It's not so bad despite it being the most difficult thing in the world to read. I mean just look at this Stack Overflow discussion regarding email validation.

Thanks mate! The coding train definitely has some good vids. And I agree with you, reading those expressions is probably the most alien thing there is in programming.
