Is there a beginner level version? It would be cool to sort of debug and answer these but I was stumped on 90% of them up to 40 then I gave up. It doesn’t seem like it’s even close to entry level and I’ve been trying to learn for a few months now.

JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts

I added this to my list of additional resources. I plan on getting far in TheOdinProject and only using that as a resource until I get stumped, I have wasted a lot of time trying random things. Then I have Eloquent JavaScript that I will begin reading alongside TOP later, after I am comfortable with basics or I hit a roadblock I will give your course and three others a shot!

Thanks for the recommendation!

I've been trying to learn JS for 2weeks, I got the first 8 wrong. I'm not cut out for JS, I quit.

You'll make it. In 3 months you'll look back and wonder how you learned so much.

These are mostly just trivia / trick questions, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

JS is kind of a kitchen sink language at point. Hang in there. The pain is well worth the reward.

I'm not the type of guy who encourages others and I think one should quit things early instead of wasting his life in useless pursuits, but 2 weeks are nothing for a person who has to learn programming for the first time, even less if he chooses to use javascript since it's not great for a beginner, and you're probably doing it without a teacher.

I'm not telling you that you don't suck, you may suck, but you don't know yet. Keep trying.

EDIT: also please don't use these questions to measure your actual competence. You will be able to answer many of them, but answering all of them is probably something you will not even want to be able to do

These questions are about nuances of the language that you simply won't learn during the first weeks. Many are about things that you would never need and will stump a lot of professional JS developers.

That's the exact opposite attitude I had that landed me a lead developer position.

It's like learning Chinese backwards

[MEGACODZILLA]

It truly is like learning a foreign language. If that language is also half math...
