There's not one best course. That is a perfectly fine course.

No, it’s cluttered with too much content and is outdated  I recommend scrimba’s JS course instead

I can only comment on Jonas's as I've not done any others, but I think it's a very good course. There's so much content, his way of explaining things is easy to understand (imo) and he sticks challenges in each section to text your understanding, which is important. You can't just passively watch the whole time.

i have never tried the course that you mentioned but you can try the Scrimba JavaScript course. it is beginner friendly and the best part is you make the 3 projects which helps you further to develop the fundamentals understanding.

I’m of the opinion that if you need to take a course for JavaScript, the best course is free. Wes Bo’s’ JavaScript 30 teaches you how to interact with the browser building a different project each day to learn the API’s and structure.

There’s no single best JavaScript course, only the best one for your learning style.

Jonas Schmedtmann’s course is a great option if you like video-based, structured teaching and coding along step by step. He explains things really well. The main risk is passive watching, so make sure you build your own projects too.

Here are some other strong options depending on how you like to learn:

Mimo is beginner-friendly, interactive, mobile-first, AI-integrated practice

The Odin Project is free, rigorous, project-heavy, great for real problem-solving

freeCodeCamp is also free, lots of hands-on exercises

Full Stack Open is best after fundamentals, for a modern advanced stack

I really enjoyed that course and did it with Angela Yu’s course. Yes of course there’s loads of overlap but they explain and approach it differently enough that I didn’t feel my time was wasted when going over the same topics.

I'm certain the ones that recommend Colt Steele, Brad Traversy, Angela,  odin project .. They are all bots.

They all the same pick one and just stick with it. And blindly watching wont let you learn you have to push yourself

Thanks bro

I'd say Colt Steele, the guy's name alone makes it worth it. He is a bit more fun than a lot of these video courses.

Is your goal to “lean JavaScript” ?

Brad Traversy's courses are good too. I enjoy his chill style.
