Good luck, I got into programming with JavaScript. But I learned python through the courses I mentioned.
If you already know C, JavaScript should be pretty easy to learn. It’s funny, I actually didn’t learn JavaScript from that resource.
But flipping thru it a little bit today, it’s pretty decent stuff and walks you thru the language basics and idiosyncracies.
JavaScript was the first programming language I spent a lot of time with, so I’m biased in saying this. But it’s extremely easy to learn & program with.
Factor in things like npm and node.js, it’s very easy to get projects off the ground quickly. I of course do recommend learning the basics first, but also use chatGPT to help build a basic webapp. Building anything will only accelerate the learning process.
