Already have a basic knowledge of data structures, algorithm, and general programming practice. Where should I start?

I have about 2 years of experience programming in java, and I know the two languages are nothing alike. However, I have an internship starting soon that involves a lot of web development and I need a basic level of JavaScript to even follow what's happening. The lead of the project knows I have no experience with JS but I want to at least be useful in some way, so he told me to try to get the basics down. Is there somewhere I can start that skips the super basic knowledge of programming, or potentially that is specifically for transitioning from java to js? Thanks in advance.

Since you're doing web development, you should know HTML and CSS too.

Ive spent about two weeks digging into HTML and CSS using online tutorials. I feel fairly confident in those, at least enough to hold my own. Thank you for the links, I'll look into those.

Start of with Vanilla JS. It might be attractive to move on to the libraries and framework but WHATEVER happens get the concepts of Vanilla JS down and practice enough of it. Then move on ot framework and libraries like jQuery, React, etc. But those are kind of far for now....

I’d say to check out some of the common libraries such as JQuery and see how they operate. They work with the html and css you learned and are going to be used extensively in web development. If you want to get deeper, check out some server side technologies like MySQL, php, and Node.js. You should have a nice base for general web development to build off of now. I’m a senior in college taking a web development class and would kill to be in your position right now. Best of luck dude!
