So I decided to do was go to freeCodeCamp.org's YouTube channel and I am watching this JavaScript full course for beginners, which is 3 and a half hours long. And I'm taking notes on the side about 26 pages right now and I am like halfway through the course. But oftentimes times programmers will say that once you know one language, it's a lot easier to learn another. And now, like I really understand what they're saying because I started with Harvard's CS50 class.
