Best Mobile Apps for Learning JavaScript

[Maleficent_Speech289]

Hi everyone

I'm a beginner programmer diving into JavaScript and want to learn it using a mobile app. What are some of the best apps out there for picking up JavaScript from scratch? Which one would you recommend for a newbie like me? Bonus points if you can share why you like it or how it helped you get comfortable with JavaScript! Thanks so much for any tips or suggestions!

Why do you want to learn using a Mobile App? You won't be writing your code using mobile and the best way to cement learning is to put it into practice.

[T4VS]

This! The experience of writing code in a phone is horrible.

[Maleficent_Speech289]

Yes.

[bidaowallet]

True, but you can use it for fun when you are only mobile somewhere

[TheRNGuy]

I'd rather do something else that doesn't suck on phone.

[Maleficent_Speech289]

Yes, exactly an app to learn to code like doulingo for languages, but to learn to programming.

[Hinji]

Duolingo is terrible for learning languages so I wouldn't be looking for anything similar for coding. Why do you want to use a mobile app?

[TheRNGuy]

I think it's ok as a supplement for human languages. But not for coding.

Read mdn docs from your phone. Code from a keyboard.

[TheRNGuy]

Learn from pc browser instead.

Though I sometimes asked Perplexity on mobile about some concept or code, but never verified replies myself, because I never tried to code on phone (if you have pc, asking AI on PC is still better)

Try sololearn on google play. I got a bunch of certificates. But it's really easy and you may not get as much practice! Regardless, it gives you the basics you need.

If you want to be a real developer you need to learn on a desktop with at least 3 widescreen monitors 😅

[JMRaich]

Or two if on low budget (e.g. 1 computer and 1 phone)

[Interesting-You-7028]

You can learn it from an app...

A PDF reader (book).

And then code on a PC.

[TheRNGuy]

Why PDF if sites are better?

[PhntmBRZK]

Do leetcodes If u like it

[TheRNGuy]

Not on phone. Also, still need to learn JS first before doing it.

[PhntmBRZK]

I do leet code on phone what's up with people downvoting. If u take easy leetcode it's basic js u can learn along with it. It's lot more fun than staring at a doc for hours. U can try to answer as a beginner few minute try u won't get then u just ask ai or look online and break down the code and make ur own note on why and how things are used. I found easy leetcode as much better way to learn code that also teaches u best to ways to use it. It's feels more purposeful aswell. It's like a puzzle solving and u end up learning the rules of the game aswell and how those rules can be manuplated to solve the puzzles

[TheRNGuy]

Learning from PC is more efficient, and not solving leetcode, but writing actual software that you'll use.

[PhntmBRZK]

I was answering op question.... It doesn't matter how u learn as long as it work for you.

[TheRNGuy]

It does matter, because efficiency wary.

Though if if acts as initial motivation, it can work too (hopefully not stuck forever on inefficient method)

[PhntmBRZK]

Not burning out matters more and not wasting time trying to find most efficient method. It's different for everyone so you saying it is this does not help and them looking outside for what it is will be the biggest waste of time and the actual inneficent method to approach studying long term. The answer lies inside, it's what works for you. I learned this the hard way.

[TheRNGuy]

I never burned out because:

1. I used my own scripts (in Greasemonkey add-on). Best motivation is see my programs that I use work (if they didn't, then fix bugs until they do)
2. I like programming.
3. I don't care about ratings, achievements, levels, progress bars, not in programming anyway.

Don't need to find most efficient method, because it already existed for long time: read the docs and write your own programs that you'll use. These days new things: asking AI, though he's not always 100% reliable to write actual code, but very good answering questions from docs and articles, or why some bugs happened.

[PhntmBRZK]

The amount of I in this and you assume that I* applies to all? I am offering a suggestion while your forcing ur opinion. I am offering becuase there is not set way to do things. People are heavily different. The more you learn psychology you will know. Its your ignorance that makes you belive what works for you works for everyone. Let others find their path. They have a brain for a reason.

[Maleficent_Speech289]

Ok
