Don't. Just don't.

Go on a walk. Feed your dog. Maybe read a fucking book. Do literally anything else.

I've seen way too many tutorials that are trying to teach JavaScript, and mixing up JavaScript with Java... Saying that Java is just another, shorter, name for JavaScript.

I'm also a big fan of the open web. It's good that people can post without needing a big publisher or newspaper to back them. But there are definite drawbacks as well. It can be very hard for someone who is trying to learn basic concepts, to know who actually knows what they're talking about, since anyone can post anything.
