The problem a lot of people have with code academy is that they just tell you to type x into some text file and it works.

The question is, what do you want to learn? the syntax? the high level concept? frameworks? What do you want to be able to do with javascript when you're done? Build a hybrid app? a node server?

I want to learn the syntax, then be able to solve problems on codebytes.com, codewars.com, and Javascript Koans.

Is CodeSchool better than Codecademy for a beginner? I do not mind investing $30 a month for a skill as valuable as this.
