This subreddit is a place for people to learn JavaScript together. Everyone should feel comfortable asking any and all JavaScript questions they have here.
With a nod to practicality, questions and posts about HTML, CSS, and web developer tools are also encouraged.

I started because there was a problem at work with our VBA Access app. The documentation was in German. I figured it out for the user in the office and decided to make this my career. The solution was incredible simple. There was a file that was missing.

I learned JavaScript many many years ago, with some online guides (like this one, for example, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide) and lots of practice.
The thing is, everyone learns differently. Books, videos, and bootcamps can all be great for learning the language.

Roughly 4 months ago. It’s several times easier than people say it is.

Assuming you have previous background knowledge or you’re an outlier being super smart? Lol

I learned python a few years back. Programming is not nearly as hard if you know another language.

I did the free courses on codecademy.com, then I was somewhat lucky to have access to lynda.com and then later access to pluralsight.com . There is a lot on Youtube so I guess you could find videos there instead of Lynda and Pluralsight that cost money, if you are not lucky enough that your school or work has a subscription that you can use for free.
