Help me think through a first project

What's a good first project that will help me learn Javascript?

It's my first programming language. I'm told I should have a small project that will keep me focused and excited.

What was your first Javascript project? Any suggestions for me?

The ubiquitous todo list is always a good place to start as it will show you a lot about working with arrays.

I just noticed how many points you have before you get to that point I'd recommend you do some small practice exercises.

I'd also recommend that you work through learn street JavaScript course along side the JavaScript Foundations as it includes plenty of practice.
