But online information can be changed on the fly as standards and best practices change. Books need a new revision to be published. I use https://www.w3schools.com for all my programming reference needs. Never once failed me.
If anyone's interested, humble bundle also has a number of book bundles.
You can pay as little as $1 for a few books.
Yeah, probably not. JS is great if you want to get into web development and can learn it in tandem with HTML/CSS.
I recommend Python to get started or to stick to if you want to get into programming. I personally started with JS and went to Python, then Java, then back to Python (which was a big mistake).
I don't think it really matters what you start with, but don't jump around like I did. Start with Python and stick to it, or figure out JS and stick to it.
I would trust the information from a book more than anythingā¦ because of the effort and time it takes to put one together

I'm just jumping into JS due to it being useful for some things at work, however it was suggested to look at C# as a better language to learn to allow you to go to higher or lower level languages and better sets you up for programming jobs/careers. Thoughts?
Don't underestimate the career giving ability of JavaScript. With a solid JS foundation you can rock in web development- both client side(React/Angular) as well as server side (Node).
Having said that, it is a bit of an ugly language. Python is much better that way though you may be focusing more on stuff like data science and IoT with Python.

It's best to pick the right tool for the job. So there is no "best" language. As far as starting... well... C# may be flexible as an educational tool with regards to giving a lot of options. That could be argued. But learning C# to then learn other languages is an extra step. Just learn the language that aligns best with what you're most likely to be doing. With a language, it is better to stick with one long enough to make useful things. The "making things" is the real teacher, not what features the language has. Or put another way, the basics of pretty much any language can be learned in a few weeks. But knowing the language isn't the same as being able to use it. C# is a fine choice. A very good choice. Just so long as you can imagine making programs with it. That experience making things is what will carry you forward with career options.

Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart is a great book to get started. I also read Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming by Eric Matthes.
Heard a lot of good things about Angela Yu's Python course on urlhasbeenblocked.
The best way to learn IMO is by creating projects. I recommend learning enough to create a small project and wing it! Start looking up things you don't know, and try to stay away from copying code as much as possible.

If JS is useful at work, and you can use that as experience, I'd focus on that for now. At some point, the goal is to be language-agnostic, so I wouldn't change languages in your case just because C# has other advantages. There isn't much sunken cost here, the better you understand JS, the better things can translate over to another language.
I'd try to create something for your team to use since you have the opportunity to do so - work experience with code is extremely valuable, especially if you created something that was used by the company/your team.

JavaScript is not the best language to learn(first) from. Something more object oriented is far far better.

In terms of videos, FreeCodecamp's Youtube is pretty good - https://www.youtube.com/channel/U...7EV0hUK0BQ
Cory Schafer's videos are good too -
