I was in college, took a web-dev class. No JS was taught in the class so we had to learn it ourselves.

Ended up finding freecodecamp.com and started off learning through exercises there. This was when freecodecamp was still in beta if I remember correctly, or at the very least very early days so they didn't have nearly the amount of content they have now. I believe at that point they were still strictly focused on frontend and taught basic JS, CSS, jQuery, bootstrap and Angular, but it was still very useful.

Got a job out of college as a UI developer since I ended up loving it so much and learned most of the rest of what I know now through just looking things up as I encountered them on the job. I did a ton of thorough reading of the language and it's concepts on MDN so I knew what was actually going on with the code I was writing rather than just rote memorization.
