I taught myself ( and continue to teach myself) programming by displacing my audio background which is similar to yours ( just replace all the video suite applications you mentioned with audio daw's like Pro Tools, Logic etc) and I learned JavaScript in parallel with the web audio api. I would suggest it might benefit you to you possibly follow the same path but learn the video-esk api's like Web RTC.
