A beginner-oriented Lynda.com course introducing universal programming concepts such as loops, objects and how code runs, with examples in JavaScript. It is meant as a foundation that carries over to any language.

Some reassurance: it's fairly common for even brilliant programmers to talk about struggling at first, and being aware of your flaws or being behind is actually a good thing. The *worst* programmers -- the worst people in any field -- don't know they suck. They think they're doing fine, and that…
First, I suggest not dropping out until after you have secured an internship or Job, for one thing because it's fairly likely that your school has internship programs available that might be able to place you in a good position. You may even be able to get credits for it on the off chance you…
