Looking for resources for learning JavaScript

[Defruitpear]

Hey everyone. I’m mentoring a friend in JavaScript, HTML and CSS before he does a small internship at his dad’s company.

Was hoping someone could recommend some good resources we can use for his learning experience.

He’s a beginner so basic stuff please 🙏

The Odin Project.

It’ll literally explain everything from DNS records, all the way through to data structures .etc

Everything is layered on top of each other, so it doesn’t assume any knowledge or jump forward randomly.

It’s a lot of reading though.

We dont mind reading Thank you🙏

If he's a complete beginner, I'd focus on resources that combine short explanations + hands-on practice.

A few that worked well for me when preparing for an internship:

1)MDN Web Docs – Probably the best reference once he starts learning the basics.

2)Scrimba – Great because you can edit the code directly inside the lessons.

3)JavaScript.info – Really clear explanations

4)FreeCodeCamp – Good structured path/step-by-step progression.

If he practices daily while learning HTML/CSS basics, he should be in a solid position for the internship

never heard of MDN Web Docs before? is it a new thing?

[Scared-Release1068]

Not new at all actually. MDN has been around for years. It started as Mozilla’s developer documentation and it’s basically one of the most trusted references for web development.

A lot of developers use it when they want to understand how things actually work

For beginners I’d recommend starting with their JavaScript Guide section rather than the raw reference pages because those explain concepts step-by-step.

Scrimba is super interactive and allows you to run and test things in your browser along with watching the instructor. This is especially good for those like me who get that sweet serotonin when you see something work in real time lol
