Learning Javascript for ServiceNow

[LachieS]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to ServiceNow and have a background in software engineering. When I first learned to code in Java, there were plenty of online resources to help me grasp the fundamentals and practice in sandbox environments.

Now that I'm transitioning my skills from an OOP language to Javascript, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the differences and don't know what specifics I should be learning to progress as a ServiceNow developer. 

Does anyone know of good resources with content tailored to real ServiceNow scenarios, that aren't necessarily the foundations of programming? 

Thanks!

@LachieS - Everything I've learned about Javascript, I learned on ServiceNow over 15 years.
In the past few years I've hosted private coaching sessions for many ServiceNow newcomers with not a lick of coding experience.

THIS is the resources is hands down the best for 1 reason:
ServiceNow has several objects that it has built on Javascript for you to use.
Learning RAW javascript first isn't going to adequately prepare you.
THIS resources will teach you javascript plus the essential ServiceNow additions to it in the same set of videos.

It has no equal.
