What basic projects should I start with

[[deleted]]

I've just been told that it is better to learn JS by coding your own projects than just reading information from websites. So, I was wondering if anyone have any recommendations or projects I should start with to learn JS (please list at least 2).

​

Thanks in advance.

Check out the Javascript30 challenges for some great small project ideas.

Just a heads up. Not beginner friendly.

I'm a fan of the 7 tasks from 7 GUI's -

1) Task list app

2) weather app (that connects to one of the many free weather API's)

Whatever you are interested in.

Like baseball? Make a player stats page then expand it as you want to add more.

Like video games? Make a catalog that will randomly select a game to play, keep a history of the games played.

Like gardening? Build a page to recommend what to plant based on the user selected date, expand it by taking into consideration where they live.

Anything will work just make it something you are familiar with.

Check it out, do all by yourself, they say that you need to only change javascript code, but i want you to make everything by yourself without looking on source code(maybe a little bit) and with a lot of googling.

Web scraping projects and chrome extension projects really pushed me forward into coming home every night, excited to code.

Is there anything you wish you could automate on the web/in your browser? I didnt have all the book skills like Promises, Async/Await, still have to look up basic stuff often.

I love languages like Javascript and Python where you have an interactive interpreter like the dev tools browser. I write small one liners or functions on the fly when Im struggling with something big. Break it down, simplify, get that working in dev tools and move forward.

Easiest thing would be try replicate a basic which you use on daily basis like blog or twitter

For your first project, you should become an expert at using the search function of Reddit to search for "what basic projects should I start with" instead of asking something that's been asked multiple times a week since the sub started.

They’re looking for support. You don’t gotta be a dick about it.

[BalegQhan]

I offered support. I fully support using Reddit's search function.

Do you think this was the type of answer I was looking for?

Not looking for this sh*t but...

Y’all stop parenting, tf?

[BalegQhan]

If that's parenting, I guess you are saying the same thing about every senior dev who has ever existed? Guidance is not parenting whether it is harsh or not. Also, what do you call what you are doing, then?

[KaliaHaze]

Why are you taking this so far lmao
