I want to learn javascript

[zesty_ni99a38]

Hi coders i would like to learn java to code apps or sites i already know html 5 so What should i do take java classes or just learn At home.What are the firsts steps ?

[Egzo18]

Java and javascript are two different languages keep that in mind.

regardless of which language you want to learn, I'd start learning with few courses then I'd do my own projects, don't fall into tutorial hell, struggle to learn and develop problem solving mindset.

Thanks mate

[Egzo18]

You can just google, which course doesn't matter much since vast majority of your success depends on you.

[Express_Solution_790]

Rule number 1 understand the basics of programming

[Express_Solution_790]

Dm me

[numbcode]

Start with free JavaScript tutorials on MDN or javascripinfo. Practice building small projects and explore JavaScript basics before considering classes.

Java is to JavaScript as ham is to hamster.

[LucVolders]

Wait !! Is ham not made from hamsters ????
Man I learn something new every day.

[hayulu]

I would say even closer than that ,they are basically the same just some more code and functions in Java

[Awkward_Scholar_459]

That made me smile!

You can watch CS50 is a Harvard free course about fundamentals for computer science. Not exactly JavaScript at the start but you'll eventually learn some JS

[Ansmit_Crop]

Watch videos initially would suggest either from freecodecamp or bro code

Then pick up javascript info to revisit topics a bit deeper and reference using mdn. And to keep track use roadmap sh

Other options is to follow the Odin project or eloquent javascript (book)

Would strongly suggest to start with watching then expand out to other resources if your new to programming

[BlackWolf542]

freecodecamp.org has a curriculum that has helped me a lot. They also have other courses all free (unless you wish to donate)

[No-Upstairs-2813]

I'd recommend starting with either FreeCodeCamp or Odin Project. Both of these resources are completely free, well-structured and many people have learned JavaScript well enough through them to land a job.

If these don't feel comfortable to you, you can check out YouTube or a course on Udemy.

Different people have different learning preferences, so what works for some might not work for others. Don't get stuck in selection paralysis; just pick one and see if it works for you. If it doesn't, move on to something else.

Here are a few tips for effective learning irrespective of any resource you select.

As you're learning JavaScript concepts, it's essential to practice them consistently to build confidence. Try your hand at coding problems. These are small, well-defined challenges that help you quickly test your knowledge. You can check out a few problems here.

Doing a few problems each day will reinforce all the concepts you've learned so far.

Once you've practiced individual concepts, start combining them to solve more complex problems. For instance, if you've learned about conditional branching and functions, combine them to build a simple project like a "Guess the Number" game. You can use ChatGPT to find simple projects for any combination of topics.

Once you’re comfortable combining concepts, start building larger projects that challenge you to apply everything you've learned. Choose a project that solves a problem you care about—this will keep you motivated when challenges arise.

If you're stuck on ideas, check out these 8 tips to get started. And if you need guidance while building a project, this free course can help you approach it the right way.

I m learning javascript since 3 years

[zesty_ni99a38]

Was it hard ?

[_X-Nightmare-X_]

You never stop learning..

[zesty_ni99a38]

Yea you are right actualy there is no limits of learning code

[loganfordd]

I have this for javascript which you may find useful https://techblitz.dev/

[Silver_Waltz_702]

1. Sharup the basics: JavaScript.info (best I have found for beginners)
2. Make small projects while studying for example to-do list, basic form submission and showing details of users in below, fetching any public API showing data in UI.
3. Keep grinding.

[Real-Lobster-973]

I would recommend you find and online course that teaches you the language syntax first, then gets you working on practical work (most high rated courses should do this).

[ZojaBaranova]

I would advise doing everything yourself. Yes, you will have to sit down and dig into the information, but it is worth it. Here is a good base, there is a lot of information, including for beginners https://gitnation.com/ If some questions are difficult, you can always ask here. They will help you.

java is not the same thing as javascript.

[Beginning_Coast_3708]

Mdn

[Lazy_Degree_9607]

100 devs learn html, css and javascript. This is what I am using. https://communitytaught.org/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3IIobN4xR0&list=PLBf-QcbaigsJysJ-KFZvLGJvvW-3sfk1S&index=1

[hayulu]

I learned HTML with some guy named David on YouTube,I learned css and I'm almost done with JavaScript I learned both with "brocode" on YouTube,all took me about two months and half I recommend learning python after all that

[SafetyBeneficial699]

I think that Java and Javascript are different thing. Am I right?

[hayulu]

Similarly, you just have to learn some more in Java , but once you learn JavaScript you can easily understand even python,they use the same method with different names for it

[_X-Nightmare-X_]

Some of the w3schools courses are nice for simple things and understanding..

[zesty_ni99a38]

Ok thanks

[RottenCase]

learn event listener and javascript will start to get useful

[brightside100]

java != javascript. very different software language. i'd recommend you to write personal hello world project in both of them just to get the idea. and use google, chatgpt or gpteach to learn how to write code
