In light of the recent thread about Prototype vs. jQuery vs. (vanilla) Javascript this seems like a relevant article http://24ways.org/2013/javascript-taking-off-the-training-wheels/.

There’s this to start learning Javascript (I’ve probably mentioned this before)…

I’ve used Codecademy in an earlier attempt to learn Javascript, and found their courses lacking in explanation. They were very exercise-centric, at the cost of not explaining things well enough beforehand. While this works fine for HTML/CSS (it’s where I learned those), it doesn’t work too well for Javascript.
If you want to learn Javascript, I highly recommend CodeSchool (I’m working on Javascript Road Trip 3 as I write).

Read this page, all the way through. It’s an important bit of exposition on teaching absolute newcomers how to program. Particularly read the warning about Copy and Paste.

I think, if anything, that CodeAcademy are hewing to this model of tuition, and you may already know some of what they’re trying to teach you.
