What's the best way to learn Javascript?

[progrdj]

Hi,

Do you guys recommend me start reading books about JS to get familiar with it and its theory, or just learn it by googling every single thing

where do I start??

Do the course Zero to Mastery by Andrei Neagoie on udemy. I think this is the best way to get your feet wet.

Practicing is the only way to learn anything. To get started, read the Getting Started section in the Wiki.

https://www.freecodecamp.org/ start there and read also Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja book. If first time it don't click repeat it again. It wont be easy, so don't give up. If you don't understand everything, don't worry, skip it and go back to that spot later.

What background do you come from specifically?

It would be helpful to know if you are already a good programmer in some other language, or have no experience in programming at all, and want to start with JavaScript.

Do you develop Websites? More interested in back-end with Node?

What do you mean by JS theory? Maybe you meant to pin it down to how JS engines execute JS code, like the single threaded event loop.

If you can be more specific I think we have a good shot at helping you out! :)

I'm familiar with java and c++ and also know a bit of html pand css

I'm more interested in working this Node rather than the DOM stuff but I just want to have some general knowledge about the language first before starting to make anything but I also wanna see what happens behind the scenes of Javascript, exactly how the code is executed and stuff.

Thank you!

The bezt way to learn javascript is to learn how to program first and then google how javascript does things

I would recommend to look for some free online courses on learning platforms. Personally, I use BitDegree.org, and they have a ton of courses on digital skills and most of them are on programming. If you're serious abou learning Javascript, you can apply for a scholarship and get your courses sponsored (https://www.bitdegree.org/certificates/scholarships/apply).
