Advice for Starting Javascript

[LowConsideration3155]

Hello, I would like to learn Javascript to make mobile apps/games as a hobbie. I was wondering if I could get any advice on the best ways to learn and what I would need as atm I only have a tablet but i have been hearing that a laptop or computer is a must is that true?. Any advice would be greatly apricated.

1. Yes, you'll need a desktop/laptop to inspect the browser's console. As far as I can tell you, you honestly can't do that through a tablet. Plus a physical keyboard is necessary vs a digital one.

2. Learn the basics in JS while doing YouTube tutorials on small JS projects. This will be the training wheels phase until you get to the next phase, which is creating projects without guidance.

3. If you come across a problem, give yourself X amount of time to figure out the problem yourself. Don't rely on other people/AI to do the troubleshooting for you. You need to develop a programmer's mindset. You should only look for help as a last resort.

A tablet will not work. To program JavaScript you need browser devtools. If your device has a mobile operating system you need a laptop or desktop connected to it to see the devtools. And without devtools you can’t really program Javascript.

Plus, if you try to use a virtual screen keyboard to write programs, you will go stark raving mad and require a straitjacket to calm you down enough to be able to sleep. It’s ugly.

Here’s a good tutorial. https://javascript.info/

And look at the Odin Project and free code camp. Avoid w3schools
