I need help from where to start, right at the beginning. Started at Java Script, but seems I need to learn the language from the beginning. When I first came on the website, I chose Java Script, but I don't know enough yet after watching the first 3 videos.

Any advice on this, would be great.

I'm not sure what you're gauging your progress with. You say you don't know enough yet ... but enough for what?
After just 3 videos you might be judging your progress a bit too harshly.

If your intention is to learn JavaScript (spelled as one word), you might consider starting with the Beginning JavaScript track.
If you're interested in web development, the more general Front End Web Development might be a better starting point.

Hello Steven,

Thanks for your response.

I started Beginning JavaScript and after the third video, there seemed to be a fair about of 'lingo' that I should know.

It felt like there were a couple videos that I had missed (even though not on that track). Hopefully this make sense.

Thanks alot

If you have specific references to "lingo" you need clarification on, you could ask about them specifically and perhaps someone can help.
