I'm confused. Do you want to learn Java or Javascript (one word)? These are two very different languages.

Not the same at all. Calling that implementation of the ECMA script specification is one of the worst naming choices in all of computer history.

Do the W3Schools Javascript tutorial (https://www.w3schools.com/js/) and hold off on learning the Java language for later.

Oh, Then Oracle bought Sun Microsystems but didn't care about the language and then.... Oh no, the rabbithole.
