Do not try to learn JavaScript the first time from bits of unrelated or related JavaScript tutorials online—this is the worst way to learn a programming language. Is this really true, from my experience the people who were self educated had a remarkable perseverance to get the job done and were particularly good at mastering the non-programming parts of the work such as client relations, math, science. I think its the best way to learn, because it also teaches you how to learn.
