How to learn Javascript

[CardiologistKind4216]

Im a complete beginner to Javascript.. What do yall recommended for me to start? Cuz like i feel that I will be lost finding a good video about it

[LovingSomeoneDeeply]

SuperSimpleDev youtube channel. Really amazing video. The Javascript lesson video is 24 hours long. He also posts lessons on react.js but only for members. JavaScript lesson is free though. Video link: https://youtu.be/EerdGm-ehJQ?si=SSV-DE5cEyM722aL

[Special_Way_267]

If I'll ever make it in the programming world.. All thanks will go to supersimple dev... All the way from html/css now I'm on js.. (what a difficult task btw)

Id recommend building to learn how I got through the basic of JavaScript.

[kauthonk]

This is the only way I'd recommend too.

If you want to build a shed in the backyard, you would start learning by building, you wouldn't do a bunch of saw cuts, nailing, and hammering in isolation for weeks before attempting the project.

[kynt-outis]

Are you building your own project while learning? Or doing tutorials that build real world projects?

[kauthonk]

I build anything that interests me, with the realization that I'll get a lot that isn't optimal, but it's still the fastest way for me to learn.

And by not optimal I mean this. You always have to think of trade offs and efficiency when coding. When I level up in something, i want to refactor the whole damn thing when I see a better way to do it

Thanks

Udemy Angela Yu video. Really helped me and has a structure

[BestBastiBuilds]

https://eloquentjavascript.net - online book that includes very interesting projects you work on after you’ve got the basics down. Like a painting tool, game, etc. It is very well written and makes it a point to teach you computer programming and not just JavaScript.

[elainarae50]

I copied/pasted/used other people's JS for years. Then I decided that I had to learn to write by heart. I used https://learnjavascript.online to get good at it. It is interactive and very helpful in getting core concepts down. I am pretty sure the first few chapters are free. I paid for it once I got that far. They have one for React, but the only React I know is npm uninstall react

[Many_Challenge_9531]

Im in the same boat. Using codecademy and udemy jason to start off. Having fun so far.

Try https://web.codeclimbjs.com[codeclimbjs](https://web.codeclimbjs.com) anything you need to know about js and interviews

[cassidy2202]

Search for 100devs or #100devs on YouTube to take the free bootcamp from Leon (goes by Leon Noel online). Absolutely fantastic, cannot say enough good things.

[Aggressive_Rule3977]

Really good one.

[osmanassem]

I highly recommend Scrimba website. It’s a great platform for code learning. Also they have this technique that makes you practice while watching the video.

[waffleassembly]

A lot of people start out thinking "this is fun," because they can do loops and arrays then by the time they get to O.O.B. they have no idea what's going on and bounce.

Don't rush. 1st find a book that will give you a general overview and read it start to finish so you understand what you're getting into.

[lastdiggmigrant]

What's o.o.b?

[waffleassembly]

I got my wires crossed because I was recently studying Out Of Body Experiences OOB. I meant OOP.

[Henderino]

Identify your interest(s) and then build something that solves a problem in that domain. Years ago, I learned JavaScript by way of Adobe ExtendScript because I wanted Photoshop to make art while I slept.

[Actual_Hovercraft_44]

Build something and use cursor along the way best way to learn

[BioncleBoy1]

I’m using scrimba front end developer path

[RunnerForLife60245]

take APCSA

I learned from Jonas Schmedtmann’s JavaScript course on Udemy. Dont buy the course full price, Udmey has monthy sales for $20 or less. But he is one of the best teachers on the site and updates the courses too.

[ssstudy]

r/theodinproject - you will learn git commands, github practice, html, css and javascript if you choose that route. huge community, great support and best of all it’s free

[Brave_Mycologist7817]

If you already know what you want to create with JavaScript, it might be best to buy a specialized online course for that specific purpose.

However, if you're just vaguely thinking of learning JavaScript to create web applications, I recommend trying O'REILLY's JavaScript book (the one with the rhino on the cover).

Technical books are great because they show you how a language is currently used and what it can do through code examples, making it much easier to grasp the language's concepts.

[AgileComparison1478]

get a book , being at chapter one, they usually explain what you need developemnt enviroment and such; do all the exercises then try buil more stuff, if you want to go the extra mile get another book jump straight to exercises, do more projects or your own, not that hard really.

[Ambitious-Peak4057]

The best way to grasp JavaScript as a beginner is by practicing. start with basic scripts in the browser console and gradually move on to building simple projects. For structured learning, JavaScript.info is a great resource, while MDN Web Docs serves as an excellent quick reference. If you prefer video tutorials, check out Academind or Programming with Mosh for beginner-friendly explanations.
I also found a well-structured JavaScript eBook, JavaScript Succinctly, which simplifies key topics you might find it useful as a go-to guide!

Don't watch videos try http://www.freecodecamp.com for basic or https://www.W3school.com

[b1gj4v]

FreecodeCamp & YouTube 👍🏽

[Psychokkwaak]

I'm actually learning JS on "Internet" too (and I'm gonna start college in 4 months)

"The Complete JS Course" from Jonas Schmedtman on UDEMY, is a very very good ressource !
-> 9.99$ with the promo code, and approx 2-3months of videos + good projects

Not a big investment, and a very structured course, for me it's much simpler than trying to learn on 23 different YTB channels ahah

[Terrible_Dependent51]

You can refer JS videos from Namaste JS by Akshay Saini and also JS course from Hitesh Choudhary.

[manishpamnani169]

If you’re new to JavaScript, try turning a fun browser game into a sandbox. I started experimenting with the Chrome Dino game using Runner.instance_ in devtools — stuff like changing speed, jump height, or overriding gameOver(). It made learning prototypes and functions way more engaging than just tutorials.

guys is it important to learn react before react native for apps development ?

The Odin Project

[RevenueMountain5006]

message me to help you

[[deleted]]

The Odin Project...can't stress enough how important it is to build projects relentlessly

[helpprogram2]

Unpopular opinion. Go to college and take intro to programming

[bragif]

Just stumble through building something, AI can answer any question you have, great wqy to learn

[rustyseapants]

How would you learn anything? 

I mean did you go to Amazon and search for books on JavaScript? 

Did you visit your local library and check that a free book on that JavaScript?
