I just checked the Javascript basics course again, and it is now being taught by Dave McFarland. I have not been past the first video but it looks like a good course. I would start there, if I were you! Good luck!!

Javascript Basics is a good place to start. The teacher, Jim Hoskins, is very good, explains things well. The course doesn't delve into the way JS interfaces with web pages so much (hardly at all) it simply explains the basic concepts of the language itself.

Then there is a course that Andrew Chalkey teaches--I'm not totally sure of the title, but something like "building an interactive web application with Javascript." I found I had to take this one much slower--it gets very involved in the methods for using JS to select, bind to, and manipulate (change, update) html elements on the web page. If you follow slowly and carefully, this course covers a great deal of powerful information. But I did have to take it slow, because the concepts get fairly complicated. Andrew does his best to explain things thoroughly, but the ideas are not easy.
