Hey everyone! I'm brand new to JavaScript and super excited to kick off my coding journey. I've been advised that JavaScript is a great starting point, but I'd love to get some recommendations on where to begin. Are there any beginner tutorials, videos, or resources you could suggest? Looking forward to learning from you all!

Welcome to JavaScript! It's a fantastic choice for beginners. Here are some free resources:
- **Free Code Camp** for a structured curriculum
- **JavaScript.info** for modern tutorials
- **Codecademy's JavaScript course** for interactivity
Start with basic concepts like variables and functions, then try building small projects like a calculator or a to-do list app. Once you grasp the fundamentals, you'll be ready to explore more advanced topics!
FreeCodeCamp has excellent tutorials and structured courses. I recommend starting with their basics and then moving on to Node.js or React depending on your interest in backend or frontend development.
Check out The Coding Train on YouTube; it's really beginner-friendly! Just make sure to filter for JavaScript content since they also cover other languages like p5.js. Happy coding!
Alright, gonna do that now, thank you!
Hey, so I was just looking at that Coding Train, I searched JavaScript, and I get p5.js...Is that JavaScript?
As a developer at Codecademy, I can tell you we've packed our platform with loads of JavaScript content. Try starting with our [JavaScript course](https://www.codecademy.com/learn/introduction-to-javascript). It's interactive and great for beginners!
Hmmm, I really like your website. I'm gonna continue with it. Thank you! What course would you recommend starting with? I chose "Full-Stack Engineer" with 51 courses; do you think that's a good fit?
If you're looking for a deep dive into the language, try reading javascript.info. It's thorough and covers essential concepts without much fluff. Perfect for understanding JavaScript inside out!
Alright, got it, thanks! I'm gonna check that out soon.
