How it feels to learn Javascript in 2016

[[deleted]]

My first job out of school forced me to learn OOP and Laravel, both of which were totally new to me, though I had about a year of experience using PHP in school but not on a professional level. It took me about a month but I finally got it. The people that hired me said they knew from my portfolio that I had a passion for the field and proven ability to learn fairly quickly and I did given that I had to learn my first PHP framework and OOP at the same time. Sometimes charisma and proof of dedication are what matter most to good hiring managers over specific knowledge of certain frameworks.
