Download Intellij as IDE and I'd say start with the theory about object oriented programming before you start or find a good website with tutorials.

Here is one I found googling xD

You're lucky. I wish I could forget that. :) 

 

Note that Java is not JavaScript. Both of the answers target Java which is an entirely different language. If you really insist on learning JavaScript again, try to avoid the common mistake of just stacking framework over framework.

 

Start with something small, like a website that alerts "Hello World" via JavaScript. Then slowly extend your code. :D

Write in C.

Indeed... I think that you should clarify explicitly what it is that you wish to learn: Is it Java or is it JavaScript?

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Personally, i'd highly recommend using video tutorials, as just trying it isn't for everyone, but using Unity with JavaScript is a great way to start learning, try looking up people like DayDev, or someone like that. It's how I learned Js and C# pretty quick.

Damn man, not to attack you but expected something like.

 

"Don't, learn C or Lisp"

 

Everyday of 2018 so far managed to surprise me.
