I tend to come across several NetSuite Admins who are looking to add SuiteScript to their repertoire; while this is definitely not a trivial thing to do without any prior software experience, I've found that https://www.freecodecamp.com/ has some great JavaScript modules that are good primers for SuiteScript.

I'm doing freecodecamp right now for just that reason. I finished the html5/css section. Is it worthwhile to follow their recommended order and do bootstrap and jQuery next or should I skip ahead to Javascript? I am torn.

For NS specifically, you should skip ahead; if you're curious about bootstrap or jquery, then go ahead and go through it, but it won't really help you along your NS development path

for NS dev, you want to learn as much vanilla JavaScript for application/backend development as you can

front-end is far less important when it comes to NS dev

Thank you @erictgrubaugh! I am curious about bootstrap and jquery but also anxious to dive into JavaScript. Thinking I will just go back to it later.

If you are curious, then definitely come back to them later; learning them won't hurt you as it will give you a wider perspective on how people are using JS in general. However, it also won't really help directly in your goals to learn JS for NS
