It is not possible to become a good programmer overnight. It's not just about learning a computer language - that is the easy part. The hard part is about how to apply that knowledge. Becoming a programmer requires a lot of hard work - making mistakes, lots of mistakes and learning from them as you go. Develop a mindset that allows you to analyse any problem and synthesize a solution from there. And perseverance - countless hours of frustration before reaping the reward of a finished product.

Head First HTML5 Programming is a very visual book with a ton of review and quizzing and uses practical examples to teach Javascript, it's a little dated at this point, but a really great resource for book learners .

The Odin Project spends a lot of time in the beginning on teaching helpful tooling that a lot of other learning resources leave out, like git, developer tools, debugging and testing, it takes a little while to get to the Javascript part, but everything before that ends up being very useful .

Brad Traversy's Modern Javascript from the beginning Udemy course is a fantastic and thorough introduction to Javascript . Javascript has seen a lot of cool updates in the past few years, and this is one of the only courses that starts out with the "modern" approach, so you don't end up having to relearn a bunch of things . A great course for video learners .

Practical Javascript,A great course that teaches entry level javascript with practical examples that build on top of each other to form a full project . The paid subscription is a fantastic course that goes into a lot of important subjects often skipped in other courses, but can at times be very boring .

Other resources you're likely to be referred to that I somewhat disagree with

Free Code Camp & Codecademy, if you were instead learning to draw, the teaching methods of these courses would be the equivalent of tracing pictures you liked . Free Code Camp has a really great and helpful community built around it though .

You don't know Javascript & Eloquent Javascript really are some great books and deserve their praise, they're just not the friendliest introductions to Javascript if it's you don't already have some knowledge of Javascript or other programming languages .

Javascript & jQuery by Jon Ducket, this book is fine, but I just don't feel it's as good of an introduction as any of The Head First books, while still being just as dated. It is a lot more comprehensive though, but it doesn't build to a project, use as practical of examples or do as much hand holding .

Well, I suppose that depends on your level of experience with the technologies at hand. If a complete noob, I'd recommend head first html5

I'm currently in a 4-week summer class and I've taught myself those exact three languages. I use this Visual Quick Start Guide HTML5 and CSS3 as well as this Head First HTML5 Programming Web Apps with JavaScript. They're both great books and maybe you can find them elsewhere without paying. Who knows. They go in-depth with every piece of code you should learn from basic to complex.

Beginner: HTML/CSS

Intermediate and up: Read up as others have said, A list apart, Smashing.

Javascript: I read Head First jQuery and Head First JavaScript

Check out Head First HTML5 Programming: Building Web Apps with JavaScript as well.

You could also look into take an online class at Udacity (Free ones) .

I HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend Pluralsight as I have been using it for learning ASP.NET MVC and Kendo UI but they have so many classes available with full exercise files and hold your hand from beginning to end. There is a 10 day free trial and it is $49/month.

I think its called HTML5 but there is a big emphasis on javascript
