Good evening,
I have been working hard the past few months perfecting my developing skills. I worked through a bunch of tutorials, completed JS and Ruby Test First, created a 'trello' clone with backbone/rails, a web scraper, I made my own version of 'disqus' and a chat app similar to gchat.
The one thing I am really struggling at is creating something like a BlackJack game. My dream would be to make a baseball simulation game where I get the result from the command line.
If anyone knows of any good tutorials for either card games in JS please link them. If you have any ideas of how I can get over this hump as well I'd love to hear it, thanks!
I'm not really sure because I don't program javascript myself but this one looks pretty good:
Simple Html 5 Card Game with Canvas and Javascript
You could find more by google: card game development javascript
Anyway, look at others' games and learn from the source.
Good luck ;)

I want to be employable as a Front End Web Developer but can only write CSS/HTML along with a little bit of Jquery (on a tangent: moderate amount of PHP) but no understanding of Javascript.
The current skillset was learnt quite fast (9 months) through programming a website.. so I think projects are the best way to learn.
Any ideas on some simple projects/resources to learn and practice Javascript? I like Project Euler but the site only focuses on maths - maybe similar styled questions targeted at user interaction and core capabilities?
You already know enough, go apply for positions with companies even though you may only know a small amount, you will learn best by having projects to tackle on the job. Any organization that hires you will know your experience through the interview process.
If you do not do this and feel you need more experience, create a project for yourself or someone else, build a website, teach yourself how to build a .JS slideshow for example.
A decent book on JS that I have used is http://ineasysteps.com/products-page/programming/javascript-in-easy-steps-5th-edition/
You can try this book as well http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/
If you are into onlin learning try Code Academy http://www.codecademy.com/ or Code School https://www.codeschool.com/ or Tree House http://teamtreehouse.com/ courses

Is there a place that I can post code to have it looked over by others? Where they can help edit it and post suggestions on what they think would make it more efficient. You would think that I am asking about the site I am currently posting to (SO). However, I mean where people are just willing to look it over and help debug. Not where you have to have a specific question about a certain piece of your code.
Back in the day it would just be a group of buddies all working on one project in the living room of someone's house where they all brought their computers over to. My friends have lost interest in programming though. So I am looking for something that can hook me up with other people so we can critique each other. Is it out there? Or do I need to build it?
Yes. Koding.com, which is currently in beta, offers you free space and basically a development server, and it's much like stack overflow. You can share code snippets and work with multiple people there.

I want to create a football (soccer) manager game as a hobby project? I want to create it for browser so in javascript
Is there some tool that will help me for that becouse I create a manager game so there is no need much interactivity and physics?
So there will be option like team tactics, stadium, PR, finance, trainings and so.
I've been playing with Quintus recently - http://html5quintus.com - which gives you a nice little framework in which to build a 2D game. It seems geared toward concise code, with a prototyping/inheritance structure that makes it quite easy to start knocking together a game in HTML5/JS very quickly.
I don't know anything about the many similar engines, but there are plenty out there. Here's a good resource to help you pick one: http://html5gameengine.com
I'm guessing that you could also potentially roll your own if you had plenty of time to devote to it.

I want to expand my JS/jQuery + PHP skills + frameworks, so question: Is it worth to buying some kind premium account to learn, if yes where threehouse or codeschool?
UPDATE:
I have inspected what course each website has, and I had decided to buy premium account at CodeSchool, because I like there AngularJS and other advanced web tutorials. Because on the Treehouse there were courses for those people who is starting from the beginning.
Thanks for the help.
I had a terrible experience with Treehouse, Why? Because it is focused to people with no experience with coding, I a knew php very well, so I learned nothing, but if you are starting with coding from 0 I would suggest Treehouse, they have a very good platform.
Is it worth it? In simple words, nobody knows.
This really boils down to what you want. PHP is a great language and you can find almost everything you want to know by googling, though it is nice to know the basics of the language.
I personally learnt PHP by sort of self learning (I watched online videos of Harvard university's courses on EdX(CS50). Google taught me the rest)
To simplify, if you want to go straight to the learning with ease, go for it. If you want to take your time, look around and see related stuff, learn yourself. Getting a project that challanges you is really useful.

I'm currently teaching an employee ECMA script as it is needed in maintaining a workflow system we use and i need some challenges to use as exercises.
We have covered most of the language and he is now pretty familiar with the syntax so i just need him to get using it. I need to provide him exercises which make him think logically.
For example, he understands what an if and a switch is but a little unsure when to use one over the other. I just need to give him some exercises to let him have a go at working out a solution, then i'll sit with him, review his code and give advice.
Basically he just needs practice now. Is there any online resources which can give me a list of stuff to do? I found a few and we've worked through them (i.e. 99 bottles of beer, etc). We need some more.
Project Euler is always a good challenge/exercise for everyone.
You can probably find suitable exercises on the Coding Kata sites.
Otherwise maybe check out a book with exercises in it.
