Hey! I recently started to get to know javascript as my very first programming language. I know this is a big first step to move into when you have no previous experience, but I thought I would give it a go. My brother is a software engineer and he kind of inspired me. Two very very useful websites for me to get to know the language are as follows:
www.codecademy.com - This is a beginners guide which shows you step by step how to master the basics for free
https://codecombat.com/play/dungeon - This one is really fun too. It's for kids I think, but I used it anyway. I am a 22 year old male (in one hour) and I still found it very useful to learn the language with it being very entertaining while I was doing it.

I do really think that learning to program is one of those skills that can only benefit you in the future, so if you have the time you should give it a go!

Awesome post anyway
