Seeking Guidance: Starting Fresh with JavaScript for ServiceNow Development

[Snowl13052025]

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re doing well. I want to start fresh and deeply learn JavaScript with a strong focus on how it’s used within ServiceNow — both client-side and server-side scripting.

I’m looking for advice on:
• How to begin learning JavaScript from scratch with ServiceNow in mind
• Recommended resources (courses, documentation, videos, or practice platforms)
• A practical learning path to move from basics to advanced scripting (e.g., Glide APIs, Business Rules, Script Includes, etc.)

If anyone has been through this journey or can share a structured approach or tips, I’d be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for your support!
