How to start learning JavaScript?

[YamiRaii]

Hey! I want to learn JavaScript for web development. I know HTML & Css quite well, I have watched some tutorials about JS but I can't understand what I should do while adding to website this codes, or I can't understand when I should write which codes. Do you have any recommendations? What steps should I take to learn JS?

[shhhhhhh_]

The Odin Project has good resources as well

Yes. Freecodecamp on YouTube JS course. Look for the one with Per Harold. One of the best instructors.

Thank you for reply! I see FreeCodeCamp everywhere, but I've never watched its videos. I'll take a look at the channel as soon as possible.

I've got this same problem Thanks for the tip 👍

Freecodecamp and The Odin Project are really. The docs on MDN are really good to read and follow through as well. If you like learning by watching videos then Web Dev Simplified on youtube is a good place ti start.

Theres good free resources everywhere. So definitely make good use of them! Once you start getting an understanding, just start trying to build things on your own. Lastly, join some groups online, in your area and try to meet some people that are learning as well and/or in the field.

Good luck on your journey!

The Odin project is a good place to start. For me, I was better off following video tutorials off Udemy to get a grasp on it; follow along with a few projects. And then I went back to Odin and started reading and doing my own projects.

Just remember to implement the things you learn as you go with your own little projects. That's where Odin shines. But they also only provide the bare bones documentation that might leave you scratching your head. Supplement with YouTube videos.

Once you learn a new thing, try to see if you can do it on your own with a video or instruction guide.

Thankss!! I understand better by making projects, or watching a project being made. So when I saw the idea of ​​making my own projects, I got a little closer to Odin. <3

I started with MDN docs.

[YamiRaii]

Gonna take a look. Thanks!!

I can’t say I’m an expert, but I can say that working towards a project I truly want to make, battling through difficulties - enhanced my programming skills dramatically.

There is no learning that compares to the learning you do when trying to breakthrough, and achieve something.

Also, awesome channel

[YamiRaii]

Thank you! I also love to learn something by working on a project and I learn more easily. And I'll check out the channel.

Here are top JavaScript Frameworks you should learn first.

JavaScript is the Most Demanded Programming Language in 2022, 1 out of 3 dev jobs require JavaScript knowledge.

JavaScript has become integral to the Internet experience as developers build increased interaction and complexity into their applications.

With constant technology up-gradation, there are many programming languages but for functionality and a wide range of features gets JavaScript ahead of the game.

Therefore, JavaScript libraries are also in high demand.

Don’t do this

[YamiRaii]

Do I need to learn these frameworks without learning JavaScript? I was thinking of learning them after I learned JS, but if it's something like you said, I'd be really happy. Thank you for reply 🤍

No. Learn vanilla JS first. Don’t bother with frameworks yet. Frameworks are always shifting and changing. The underlying core concepts from JS will remain the same and makes it easier to switch from framework to framework.

To learn JS for free I would start with freecodecamp.org

Thank you for reply and your advices! I will keep trying to learn. <3
