   ### Framework of the Moment
   
  -You will run into Javascript frameworks left and right during your JavaScript adventures (e.g. Angular, React, Meteor, Aurelia, Ember, Backbone, Vue).  _Don't_ spend time learning them until you've got the basics down or absolutely need to use a specific library (e.g. for a job).  Developing proficiency in core JavaScript will get you further than proficiency in a particular framework but lacking proficiency in core JavaScript.

Learning core JavaScript will allow you to quickly get up to speed on any framework, while learning specific frameworks without a corresponding knowledge of core JavaScript will limit you to the specific, and frequently ephemeral, frameworks you've learned.

  #*_http://www.freecodecamp.com/[Free Code Camp] is the the one JavaScript resource that I can't recommend highly enough for Learners!_*#  
  
  It:

  . Assumes no knowledge coming in.
  . Provides a linear progression from no knowledge to a portfolio of web applications.
  . Lets you move as fast or slow as you want.
  . Lets you skip lessons and topics you're already familiar with.
  . Has phenomenal online support.  
  
  In late 2015, they did change the site design, making the skip process less intuitive - to skip lessons, open your "Map" and click on the lesson you would like to complete.
  
  Another great resource for any novice and junior developer is http://www.codenewbie.org/[Code Newbie].  It's more about the social and networking aspects of entering the programming world.  They have a bunch of different things including a pretty active forum and a blog.  They also do a weekly podcast, which is really good (but remember, if it comes down to listening to a podcast OR working through freeCodeCamp - CODE!) They also have a learning resources section, but it's mostly bootcamps that require money or being on location for many consecutive weeks, or resources that simply aren't as comprehensive, and learner-friendly as freeCodeCamp.  (freeCodeCamp really is the best resource I've seen for learning in a guided, thorough, and progressive way!)

  Hopefully that helps you get rockin' and codin'!  
  
  If you're in the Salt Lake City area, come say, "hi" at an http://www.meetup.com/UtahJS/events/suggested/#upcoming[upcoming UtahJS event].  If you're feeling timid, attend events with "Learners'" in the name, and know you are among friends and fellow JavaScript adventurers!
  
  Until next time, have fun exploring JavaScript Land!
