Learning javascrpit?

[SwiftXShadow]

Is www.codecademy.com a good palce to learn javascrpit by myself or is there a better website?

codecademy is a great way to learn the basics of languages, and once you have the basics you can look elsewhere to find the more advanced stuff and be able to implement the basics you have learnt in codecademy

 

I personally have used codecademy to get me started on HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and JavaScript

So after i am done with the stuff code academy has to offer where should i go to next?

Since i learned c++ a bit learning javascrpit with the help of code academy is qutie easy and familiar. But once i finish that i will need a new site, preferably one that teaches things in such detail and simplicity as code academy does. When it gets complicated and the teaching process isn't so thorough making sure i dont get stuck somewhere i may have problems because english isn't my first language, sometimes when i don't understand all of the text instructions, then code academy has the hint thing, that i can click on and it will show me the code and i will understand that.

Much like math if you dont understand the theory, sometimes you just look at the exercise and then understand what and why was done in it.

I'd personally avoid CodeAcademy for JS. What they teach is often quite far from commonly-used or best practices. Things that would error in production run flawlessly on their JS engine and so forth. try these tutorials instead.
