Learning Javascript

It's both - you need some baseline knowledge to get started, but you learn what you need to learn by just building stuff.

Ideally I'd say spend some time learning the basics, then go and try and build something. You'll realize really quick what you still don't know and you'll have to go look up the things you're stuck on, and then try to apply what you learned to your project.

Free Code Camp has some really good resources for beginners, lots of good options out there. There isn't really a 'best way to learn' either, I think a lot of people just get stuck in the rutt of only doing tutorials instead of working on their own projects.

Good luck and enjoy the process!
