Thanks Rob. I've got a question for you. When you began learning JavaScript which approach did you take? Did you start with becoming familiar with syntax and learning each aspect of the language? Would you recommend just diving straight in with trivial projects? Just trying to get a feel for how more experienced programmers recommend a novice developer begin their journey into programming both in general and with regard to JavaScript.
