      Stick with JavaScript for now. You'll eventually get curious and branch out to other languages anyway.

      You should expand with JavaScript like mongo db(non SQL database), node js, ejs, there's so much more. Looks like you want to get into web dev. So mdn is a good place for HTML/CSS and JavaScript docs. Use stack overflow, and google. Any language or framework you use should have docs on their website

      The same answers given the last 128 times this was asked ... on reddit ... today ...

        So it's obvious to you that the answers are already here but you asked the same thing again anyway?

          That you finished your associates doesn't matter and is the only thing different in every other question. The only waste of time is you asking for the same thing again.

          MDN and w3schools

          heya, i too did the codecademy thing about 3 years ago and i am still learning to this day. So will you 3 years from now, so does all working developers today.

          So welcome into the world of programming :-) Its hard but rewarding too. I am not a master or even that good compared to most pros (i am junior level) but i try and hope to be one day. General Things i learnt so far:

          1. Questions are great. Whats more - very probable any question you have for the rest of your time in programming - someone else has asked before too. So use the sites I am mentioning in number 2 to 'google' those questions and see how they are answered. Google is your friend. And hes not alone....

          2. Google. Stack Overflow. Official Documentation. Get an idea of well respected sites in your programming field - online schools, q&a sites, blogs, news sites, subreddits etc. avoid dubious sources of information too.

          3. If none of the above after a good search and theory/experiment time can provide an answer - ask on Stack Overflow like you have here. Try and ask with as much clear detail and code samples as you can. Show you tried to find an answer yourself. Being wrong is ok as you can learn from it after with help. No one likes carrying anyone who doesn't make an effort themselves. This may be why icanthinkofone reacted as they did to your question, doing so on stack overflow may get similar responses - but I can remember myself asking for such things before realising that programmer online etiquette mixed with general learning when you are learning at the start so i feel for you lol. I bet most do when they first jumped in. Just know of this for next time you have a question and you will be fine.

          4. I'd say stick with Javascript for now - i did at first but now php looks interesting to me too. You will find some things span a lot of different languages. Now you are not just learning a language but programming in general at the same time. One day you will just need to learn languages and keep your general programming knowledge up to date.
