Jason's a great instructor, preferred his teaching as opposed to Jim's (not sure if he's still there anymore).

Have you taken a look at Bootcamps? They might be better options for getting your hands into web development if you don't know too much. I don't know too many off the top of my head in vancouver but this one in TO also has it in vancouver https://lighthouselabs.ca/intro-to-web.

Are you building full web applications or websites on top of other CMS? There's so much more that goes into building web applications than just javascript and a framework. I'd really also look into some basic comp sci to understand how things work at a lower level. If you're aiming to just be a "web developer" then it doesn't matter too much I think, focus more on HTML and CSS and jQuery for some interaction.

Javascript is a great language now too you can pretty much build on any platform
Web: React/Angular2/Ember + Node.js + Mongoose
Mobile: React-Native (really awesome), PhoneGap, Ionic
Desktop: Electron

All of the bot's and scrapers I write are all built with JS.

And ES6 is awesome.
