TipsFollow your passion. Go Play. Write some new code. That’s how you do your best work. Try to enjoy what you’re doing.There are lots of people coming to JS now. Lots of OOP programmings flowing into the ecosystem. JS can be a great FP language though. There’s a lot you can learn from studying FP in JS.

TipsWhen you dive into new realms of programming, be it web-audio, functional programming, or whatever it is you're after, don't be afraid to dive in and iterate. Start with simple micro-projects and keep growing a notch every time. I find it hard to really get into new technology without getting my hands dirty from the start. Practice is essential.
