I only know html & CSS, but struggle so much to understand JavaScript.

    Practice Practice Practice JavaScript is very easy once you get used to it just don't get discouraged are you having trouble remembering syntax or just does it not make sense?

    I'll say it again... try not to get caught up in a particular language e.g. JavaScript. Learn how to program. Learn the concepts and fundamentals - what are loops, objects, functions. Learn how to approach a problem and break it down sufficiently to break it into bite size chunks.

    When you're comfortable with those things, then pick a language and learn how that language allows you to execute your ideas.

    I think new developers are so obsessed with languages and frameworks to the point of neglecting the core skills of actually writing programs and why we do it.

    Getting started is really hard. I hated it at first! But if you keep up with it, slowly it starts to make sense, which I believe is true of any programming language, particularly your first. Keep at it! I came to love JavaScript.

    @avicoder is right, that's where I learned it. If I were you then after that I'd move on to something slightly more advanced like Java.

    I know people may disagree but I think JavaScript is a really hard first language to learn because it is interpreted. With other languages like C or Java, if you have a syntax error you will know right away as the code won't compile or try to run. With JavaScript you need to get to the bad line before you find out.

    I don't know the language but I've heard Python is very easy to learn.
