In my opinion no, Javascript is I think the fourth language i had to become familiar with for work. If you have any basis in another high level language it's a breeze to learn. The good thing about something like Javascript is that the syntax and rules are extremely close to Java, so if you know one you already have an idea of how the other works.

you said its for websites, so I assume its blended in with with HTML & CSS?

Learn in this order OP

1. html / Css
2.javascript
3. php
4.sql or database language
5. c++
6.java


after that you can pretty much adapt to any language out there , it just becomes a syntax difference

i actually developed a CMS for a insurance company

Yea it is, generally Javascript ends up being the guts of a site if it's more complex than a basic site that just needs working links. Javascript is used alot in Forms, like sign up or anything else that might require an action to happen.

For example the sign up page for KTT probably uses Javascript to verify inputs match  or meet certain criteria. Where HTML/CSS would be the body, Javascript would be the Brain.

That's an interesting order, i learned that almost in reverse, i found it to be easier to move from the harder languages (C++, Java) to a less powerful language.

you can do that too but most people prefer to start basic. I guess just like making beats ( most start on FL and then move on too pro tools or ableton)

im in cs ap as a junior in hs. i suggest you start learning a major lang like java or c++ first. i started with java and just started learning a bit of c++ a few months ago and it was very easy to pick up. it helps to get that base and then you expand out further easily, digimsayin?

I know some SQL

UPDATE [Guitars].[dbo].[Table_1.Customer]
SET CustomerName = 'Mike Dean'
WHERE CustomerID = 011
GO

or

SELECT *
FROM Guitars.dbo.[Table_1.Customer]

I had to do an assignment on a guitar shop for my SQL class

hmmm sounds nice

I took an SQL class before I began with my Expression Web 3 class. Is javascript similar to the commands in sql?

no

javascript runs on your browser
sql is a database

 

[Soso]

no

so the scripting on each is completely different?

I can't believe the amount of CS classes you guys are taking in hs. All I had was html. I start my junior year in college next year and am going into management information systems. Im taking my first CS class next year.

Far from it actually...SQL is a relational language and until you get into nested queries is pretty simple. Doing an operation in Javascript similar to your SQL above would look completely different, hard to explain but once you start learning Javascript you'll see what im talking about right away.

lol im a senior in college now, only thing even CS related i could take in HS was HTML as well. I wish i could have gotten ahead back in HS though

 

[Yigga]

feels good to have gotten a big head start on programming in hs. i like it but im not really sure if this is what i want to go into

for Java, where do you learn it?

iTunes U has a programming methodology class that teaches java pretty well.
