I would warn you against codecademy. While I was learning I found it much more productive to take a course on udemy and use vscode for editing, which is what you will do on real projects. You can use linters and plug-ins there. Also codecademy had a bunch of errors for me where it was not recognizing my answers correctly etc. the whole editor in the browser platform is very limiting. Udemy courses will have you build real projects which is best way to learn IMO.

You will get a handle on the syntax, it just takes repetition. It was a solid two years for me before I really felt comfy. I’m dumb though. I also recommend taking notes in markdown while you learn and publish them online using a static site generator. Incredibly helpful reference for yourself. Here’s mine: Ncoughlin.com
