Don't be afraid of asking questions. stackoverflow.com can be you great companion when you first start. The guys there are really helpful. Regarding resources, I believe it depends on the kind of start up you are planing to work. Some basic algorithm design knowledge won't hurt. And I believe, the best advice might be not to get desperate when something doesn't work out. Just know that if everything works you are either not learning or superstar programmer. Meet each challenge with smile on your face, knowing that by the end of the day you're going to find the solution and learn one more thing. Good luck!

You're going to want to get a grasp on JavaScript basics. I can't think of a day in my professional career that I wasn't glad I learned JavaScript and continued pursuing it. Other than that, Google and Stack Overflow will be your best friends in the world of web development. Just stay hungry for knowledge, know how to search the internet thoroughly, and you'll be fine.

As you grow, don't get too confident in your skills to the point of becoming condescending with non-coders. Always stay friendly, humble and open to learn new things. Stay relevant.
