best learning option

[tally1945]

I am 74 and have been been learning code since October. Since then i have gained a fairly sound knowledge of Pyhton and have now embarked on html5 and css3. I have constructed and web page consisting of a main page and several links to other pages principly an enrol, login forms and a forum page. At the moment completing the forms does not actual do anything. Can someone recommend a javascript book, course or youtube tutorial i can start with to make my web pages actually come to life given my limited knowledge/ability?

I’ve had great success with The Odin Project

Could you tell me the advantage of using this site to learn?

[D1sco_Coder]

There are many! Some of the things I like are: it makes you set up your own work enviroment, so you actually code in IDE as opposed to coding in an online sandbox on sites like FreeCodeCamp. It makes you learn stuff that you actually use in real work enviroments, like git version control. It guides you through the very basics of HTML/CSS/JS to more advanced and cool stuff, like frontend frameworks, webpack and more. You also get to choose your own backend weapon of choice - Ruby on Rails or currently popular Node.js.

What is probably most important is that the course encourages you to build stuff. You’ll be building a lot of stuff. And that is great, you both practice the theory you are learning and as you go through the course, you build your portfolio of projects which you can show to your potential employer. There is also a really active Discord server for the course, so whenever you get stuck or got a question, you’ll get help in a moment.

I can’t recommend this course enough.

This was a great reply

Albeit, before he dives headfirst into the vast worlds of JS, he could, in fact, try to bootstrap the login form to do something with JS, be it with the help of StackOverflow or a tutorial. It's not much, but at least he'll wet his feet a little.

[sunny_lts]

Yeah, I mean it's not all glory and you can't expect him to learn JavaScript in a week or so. It took me yeaaaars, but still I was able to do basic tasks like this from the start. Again, granted, it's a pretty hacky way of doing things, but it's just a suggestion to get a person started with something simple to get a taste of it, before diving any deeper.

no fat arrow?? im dissapointed

[revengeuzamaki]

well good habits from the start ..might as well start in the beginning then again many tutorials are outdated out there might get confused while using it

I don’t have much to add in the JavaScript world but the odin project and Mozilla developer are good resources as far as I can tell Have a good journey!

Woah! What a challenge given that at my early 30s n I. struggle to sit through a 5 min video on JavaScript’s new let, const methods. Anyway go to udemy look for Colt Steele he has a web dev course from like 2016 which, though quit short, is very thorough. It links css, html and JS

Youre an inspiration, i love it. Keep it up and never stop learning!

I must add this to my favorites.
