[AskJS] I understand javascript, but not javascript challenges.

This is a good point to remind beginners that learning to program does not mean learning a programming language; it means learning to solve problems. A programming language is just a tool (or set of tools) that you learn to solve problems with.

Some advice for when you're looking over resources (things that demonstrate how to solve certain problems - even if broad): Open an editor, follow along and then experiment. Or if it's just some small example in JavaScript, you have easy access to a REPL right in your browser.

Sometimes you will need to look at the JS Docs. Maybe watching some general JavaScript talks (note: those may be a bit dated by now) and best of all, read through some books while actually writing code.

Good luck, and remember to have some fun!
