    Hey guys,

    i feel like im able to make decent websites now with html and css ( although i dont know every bit of html/css ) Will i be able to learn javascript?
    ive had a look at some of the not so good resources and it seems like a big leap. Still i would like to start incorperating js in to my sites.

    Does anyone have any decent learning resources?

    W3Schools (excellent choice for a beginner like you).

    Basic JavaScript ? Sure . However the cool stuff ofter requires a boatload of code so don't get any hopes .

    Also unless you want to learn old outdated stuff make sure you know HTML5 and CSS3 in and out .

    Definitely you can, the best way to learn new languages is to give yourself a project, think of something simple (really really simple) that you would want your site to do and then google your butt looking for code explanations and try to implement it yourself.
    It doesn't matter if you copy and paste code that you find, as long as you try to understand at least some of it the knowledge will accumulate over time.
    I've been programming for 20 years and I still get stuck when I learn a new language so I do exactly that and it works.

    As mentioned W3Schools is a good source of small snipets of code that you can digest quickly.
