Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

I like learning through games, because it helps keep me engaged. BitBurner is a free incremental JavaScript programming game that I enjoyed. It even has a coding puzzle element similar to games on codin game.com, which has a bunch of free games/puzzles in several languages.

These games didn't necessarily walk me through programming concepts, but got me comfortable with reading documentation and a offered a sandbox to experiment in. YMMV.
