The journey ahead will be long but it's totally manageable if you put in the hours. First and foremost the whole situation gave you a glimpse of some of the things that are out there. It may lead you to more interesting and challenging work.

Nowadays the Internet is literally drowned in resources and you may quickly feel overwhelmed by everything. The trick here is to choose only a handful and stick with them for the time being.

Some of my personal favorites for starting out are https://www.freecodecamp.org/ to get your feet wet and up to speed with JS. You will build projects and explore some of the fancier syntax you saw.

You may also want to start building a strong CS foundation at some point. This is going to be really beneficial as you move forward. Arguably one the best (and completely free) resources for starting out is CS50 - https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2022/.

Also don't follow courses blindly, take notes and try to implement things yourself. Moreover, start tinkering with some projects as soon as possible.

Good luck.
