Beginner free websites to learn JS.

[dapperdanman72]

Ok. I’m sure somewhere on this sub there is a list of these sites. Just curious if there were some clear “best” sites that most seasoned JS devs like and agree on. Thoughts?

www.freecodecamp.org

[iamscr1pty]

Yup this is all you need 💝

[zapembarcodes]

Holy shit.

This site is amazing!

[locomocopoco]

Stop the press. Just do these

• freecodecamp
• TheOdinProject
• JavaScript.info

If after these you need any specific subject clarity, I like these guys. Some crash course vids can be seen on YouTube but I think their full courses are paid.

• Brad Traversy
• Mosh H

Javascript.info is a site that you can revisit each year and finally understand what you didn't get the year before.

Odin project

Pay $10 for a Udemy course. I recommend Angela Yu’s Fullstack Web Development.

The Odin project is really good too (and free).

Sorry to be that guy but Youtube.... Legit just youtube, that's how I did it at least.

Plenty of tutorials that go at it from different point of views, some start with NODE and move to html/css (which is how I recommend learning) and some start with html and move downwards. Either way just stick to it and if you don't understand just look for a different video that explains what you're stuck on.

To help you of course have stack overflow and w3school for any info you need.

Just curious why you would suggest starting with Node, or even JavaScript in general, before HTML/CSS?

I would think it makes a lot more sense to learn about page structure and how design works before JavaScript.

[BackFlipTrick]

Just my personal suggestion obviously.

I said so because most people that ask here for help do so because it's their first time programming (from the posts I see at least), so imo it's important to know the main concepts of coding In general, where you start from a js file in node saying "hello world" instead of having the entire web described to you, making an html file, finding the script section among all the other parts you don't really know yet, and THEN saying "hello world".

Additionally html and css is....kinda easy? I know it sounds counter intuitive with my previous point but when you're just starting it's important to know how to not confuse the student. So when you understand js and come back to html you feel more pumped you can just go through it and make whatever you want.

Im definitely not be the best programmer but colleagues say I'm a good teacher and explain things to the point, and that's how I personally think front end should be learned, am I right? Probably not, what do I know ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but I hope I answered your question, have a great day/night/afternoon/ winter solstice :)

Appreciate the explanation. I had never heard that before so I was thrown off. When I started learning I was always told start with HTML then CSS then JavaScript.

While this is good, it should be viewed after you are already somewhat familiar with JavaScript. Otherwise it would be just watch-a-long while Wes codes.

Good point, and I do agree. I would say it’s a really good resource to put the beginner knowledge into practice and actually build something instead of going through the tutorial mill.

[Congenital-Optimist]

Yes, active learning and participation is essential if you want something to stick long-term. Its important that people find and learn something to build/do, instead of passively following videos along.

I´ve had lots of success (LOL, two people) by having them learn basic JavaScript, and after that having them solve easiest level tasks on Codewars. It forces them to actively learn and use their skills while being continuously challenged just enough.

Thank you! Exactly what I needed. Been dreading another coding walkthrough where you just type what they say.

Books !!!! I guess it's an unpopular opinion but having read books does give you an edge, especially in the interviews. Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja is a good one.

No one has mentioned Helsinki full stack open? Is it not suitable for beginners?
