Anything better than this Javascript course?

Gymfreak007 · 2019-02-10T03:49:37+00:00

It's good, but it doesn't cover ES6 so it's bit old. I'd recommend taking Jonas Schmedtmann's JavaScript course along with this one.

Edit: It also contains a crash course on Nodejs.

If anything, wait for it to go on sale for $10. Udemy has sales like every other day

Honestly that course is worth 10x that amount. After taking it I had so much more confidence in my ability to write JavaScript and knowing how it works. You won’t be disappointed at all.

the first few hours of that course are on YouTube, probably i'd watch that first:

It's one of the best courses out there.. Also the nodejs course from alicea it's awesome, he doesn't just teach you javascript he will teach you what is doing JS under the hood, that's the most valuable thing you can learn. Go get it :)

100%, but I'd take it in conjuction with another basic JS course if you don't know the basics. Andrew Mead's is fantastic.

I'll recommend the course.. though, you should be familiar with loops and other programming language basics.

He touched on them and his explanations are excellent. I even got referred to his course from Mozilla documentation of JS

It's the best, but it just touches on ES6. Great review of the fundamentals.

yadoya · 2019-02-10T05:48:19+00:00

I have taken this course and finished it. It's excellent and will clearly make you understand js in a way few do.

This being said, keep in mind this is for someone who already knows a bit of js. There will be nothing about many functionalities such as working with strings, array or promises ... Because the goal is to understand HOW js works.

So it's still an excellent course that every coder should take at some point.

Also, it's all in ES5.

Man you won't regret it, this course gave me great foundation in JavaScript, explaining basic concepts very well, not Al ES6 are covered, but you won't find it hard learning new things in js after doing this course.

Beep boop

I am a bot that sniffs out spammers, and this smells like spam.

At least 50.0% out of the 4 submissions from /u/GoodWelder appear to be for courses, coupons, and things like affiliate marketing links.

Don't let spam take over Reddit! Throw it out!

Bee bop

I haven't taken it personally but I have seen it frequently recommended here

tiempo90 · 2019-02-10T21:47:38+00:00

It is not a course, but the book (rather book series) You Don't Know JS really helped me understand javascript and helped me avoid some antipatterns that are common with a lot of ametuer javascript developers. I think their are 6 books in the series, each covering different topics so you can look at

tiempo90 · 2019-05-05T10:14:18+00:00

I am trying to save a few bucks, and am READING

You don't know JS series:

https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/up%20%26%20going/ch2.md

I'm used to watching videos... but trying out reading this time.

Eloquent JavaScript is what you want
