I think that treehouse has really good courses for beginners. Start with Introduction to Programming where you can learn the "Logic". Then JavaScript Foundations where you learn basic. Later you can check out Interactive Web Pages with JavaScript where you learn what is DOM (Document Object Model) and create practical application.

Tobiasz is correct, Treehouse has a ton of great JavaScript related content, which you can find in the Front-End Development Course: http://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/front-end-web-development

or

you can simply check out the library, and sort by topic and difficulty: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/topic:learn-javascript/sort:difficulty

I recommend starting with "Introduction to Programming".

Next month Treehouse is coming out with a new beginner course for JavaScript. There's also Code School, their library nicely complements Treehouse in terms of topic coverage and learning styles.

If you are brand new to programming check out Programming with Karel over on CodeHS

If you are looking for a book there's JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development

Honorable mention to the book A Smarter Way to Learn JavaScript.

Okay thank you, I tried Javascript Foundations first but I didn't get it. I'll do Introduction to Programming first. Thanks!

Look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQaAGmHNn9s Its really good also for other resources like PHP etc.. He teaches you everything from the very basics and make it easi and fun. After like a set of videos practice what you had learned. You can also buy a book about JavaScript . You can learn there and then come here again and that should reinforce what you had learned and the courses should be easier plus you can check out the website lynda.com and theres ton of JS about different things to do.
