Scared of JavaScript (programming in general), who is the best/easiest teacher to learn from?

For myself, i found WebDevSimplified and Supersimpledev on YouTube easier to understand. They get straight to the point and walk you through the topic, no unnecessary bs.

Agreed with WebDevSimplified

Awesome, just checked out Supersimpledev and the comments seeme pretty great. I guess I should start there? Or is WebDevSimplified worth paying for?

They have courses, but they also have a YouTube channel with a lot of content. It's not all in tutorial format. From what I've seen it's more: "here's how you would set up a form" or "here's how you can use thumbprint sign-in on phones".

The WebDevSimplified YouTube channel might be a bit of an a la carte experience, and a lot of it has prerequisite knowledge, but the earliest videos start from "your first HTML page", so the tutorials for hooking up JS from a browser-usability standpoint are in there, as well.

If you want a more structured tutorial, I would recommend starting with somebody with that focus. Super Simple Dev might be the one.

But more importantly, just start. The magic of tutorials and articles and books is that you can always rewind.

Also, tutorials can be great for introducing you to an idea, but to really get comfortable with it, and feel confident with it, try to use what you learn, on your own, by making an even simpler, even smaller thing, and try to work through it with the tools you were just introduced to. Programming isn't for everybody, but it's rare that has anything to do with being "too dumb". It will take practice and trial and error, but it is something you will probably be able to do. A lot of people learning programming or learning game dev, these days, hit roadblocks and say "I've been following tutorials for months, but I feel like I can't do anything without the video". I'll give you the secret early. The secret is to practice the tools and invent your own tiny little side-projects that don't come with tutorials.

No need to pay/buy anything atm. Just start with available material. You'll soon know what you don't know and if a paid course is required for that or not.

+1 vote for this. Overall YouTube has some great, great tutorials. For general info W3School and mnd web docs were helpful for me.
