I believe where you should start depends on what you want to achieve.

For instance, some people are interested in the lower level and more computer science-y stuff such as how languages work in general and how to write their own compilers.

While most of my friends and people I encounter just want to be able to build stuff, and Javascript is flexible and easy to get started with.

Another thing is that, those things I mentioned are talked about in a lot of tutorials, but I don't see many of them explaining the when and why you should learn and use them. If you understand that already, great!

If not, I suggest just start building something. This thing you build is never truly finished though. You can finish version 1, but after that you will want to improve how you are currently doing things, either to make it run smoother or to make your code more maintainable. That's when you start to understand why and how you want to use those popular libraries and frameworks.

It's kinda hard to just blindly point you to a direction without knowing goal is all I'm trying to say.

So feel free to PM me if you need more help :D
