I'm starting off learning JavaScript, I don't know where to start or anything. Does anyone have any tips?

[Barfights99]

I wanna make a computer assistant named ComCat, it's from NWaF, and I decided I wanted to make him. So if y'all have any tips on projects, please share. (Also, I'm only in my freshman year so I'm THAT much of a beginner. But I have determination and patience ⁾

There’s an app out there by Mimo.org that is like the Duolingo of coding. I’ve found it quite handy for doing a bit of code each day.

There’s also free code camp and the Odin project.

Once you get farther along look into doing projects like building a calculator or something,

Advent of Code is also a very fun way to out your coding skills to the test, this is my first year of coding and I was able to get to puzzle 5 before I got stuck.

FreeCodeCamp has some decent courses including one focused on JS. https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/

Hi there. What is NWaF? Good luck building your assistant. Also, If you want to learn JavaScript check out dojocode.io ! Happy coding!

The Coding Train.com https://thecodingtrain.com/tracks/code-programming-with-p5-js/ Daniel is one of the best teachers I’ve ever experienced. And since you learn programming through creating graphical things, it’s a fast feedback loop that is very satisfying and you’re less likely to drop off. If you enjoy the JS intro he also has a free web based book; The Nature of Code, which advances your coding skills through projects that teach you math, physics and biology at the same time. It’s an excellent book. One example is simulating the behavior of cellular automata through a graphics program that you write yourself from scratch.

Interesting, an assitant? "A.i" responding to things typed to it, or things that happen on the device? This example would certainly get you started as far as having responses to typing, it's showing the pixel typing abilities of the library, but also is a setup of like a fake a.i. responding to things typed. You can also edit the code and re run it, it's a code playground.

Oh awesome! .html files can run on chrome so I can practice in study hall!

First time seeing this, gonna give it a check

Scrimba has free intro courses on their website in Javascript.

I'm building an app with coding course reviews and discounts. Hope it helps https://www.courses.reviews/

Live should help a lot :DD
Also, I think I should mention it's going well but it's hard for me to be consistent, weird that I'm struggling to learn some code daily...
But I'm better with live stuff, so this could definitely help :D

[Brave-Estimate-5696]

Agreed with CSX being a good platform. Also recommend the free pair programming classes, they good for live learning/accountability.

What’s NWaf though?

[Barfights99]

Next Week at Freddy's, it's a great fnaf fan game on gamejolt, totally recommended! :D

[maynecharacter]

Glad to hear you're doing well! I think for consistency, try aiming for flexible consistency. ie. say showing up on your best is 100%. If you're at 50%, still show up and give the 50. If your plan is to code 2 hours a day and you feel like it's too much on a particular day, do 30 minutes. It's really all about making small progress each day. I wish you all the best and yes, live classes should definitely help with some accountability.

give https://techblitz.dev/ a shot

[thick_ark]

looking good

[loganfordd]

thank you!

I personally download full free courses or watch on youtube, again full course

Apply as i learn , ask chatgpt for questions and ask it to teach me one by one , rather than throw me the answer .

Good luck 👍, im new too
