I've tried my hand at learning PHP, C, C++, Perl, Python, etc... and every single time I get to where I try and learn how to do an array or functions and I just get lost.

I've done HTML/CSS for almost 20 years. But I'm no programmer but REALLY want to learn. Perhaps node.js will be the platform that allows me to succeed! (or not but hey... you never know!)

Is there a really good tutorial out there somewhere that doesn't assume you are some awesome programmer?

Thanks in advance.

PS. I did google but most of the node.js tutorials seem VERY advanced so perhaps I have to grok some other pieces first before I can even get started with node.js
