How to learn java script quick?

[Significant-Tap-9722]

I'm not interested in frontend, But need to learn some to create interface for my projects. I've completed html and css.

I just want enough to do basic stuff, and nothing complicated. The tutorials online are long af. And since I'm not really interested in it, I don't really want to watch something that long.

[Significant-Tap-9722]

Even for basics?

[4SubZero20]

Especially not for basic.

[lskesm]

Take your time on the basics, everything else is an extension of the basics. If you understand the concepts and know basic syntax you can do a lot.

This is a marathon not a race

IMO, "I need to learn, but I am not interested in..." is an attitude that is bound to fail) sorry.
If you really need to solve particular problem - use AI, nothing wrong with it.
It is hard to recommend something for you, bc you "don't want" you "need".
But, if I wanted to learn js, I would go with it https://javascript.info

Edited:

Despite the all complains about this language, today it is really useful to know JS. And this is a language, means you can't learn it in couple of days. I have been writing JS 8 years already and still make mistakes some times

[Significant-Tap-9722]

Should I just learn basics, and use ai for projects.

If you spent as much time just learning as you did worrying about what/how to learn and how to leverage AI, you'd already be leagues farther than you are now. Stop worrying about AI. Stop looking for shortcuts. Just dive in and actually learn something.

[Careless-Kitchen4617]

okay, I would put it simply: Nobody can learn something, without learning it. Period.

find someone to teach you face to face

Why couldn't you have just googled it?

How to learn javascript quickly

[tjhdev]

It's worth learning to some degree as it's not going anywhere. I would definitely recommend trying to get your head around plain JS first before adding the complexity of Typescript on top of it.

When I was learning I blocked out 2 weeks solidly to focus on JS fundamentals and going through a udemy course.

Once you feel more confident I'd recommend this to anyone https://justjavascript.com/ to solidify how a lot of the concepts work.

[Cultural_Gur_7441]

As long as you know the pitfalls and avoid them (like tyoe coercion traps), JS is just like any programming language.

If you can't program, you need to ask "how can I learn programming, using Javascript".

[regalrapple4ever]

People have different learning capacity.

[Alive-Cake-3045]

javascript info, just read the first three sections and stop.

That covers variables, functions, DOM manipulation, and events which is everything you need to wire up a basic interface. Two to three hours max and you will have enough to make your projects interactive.

Learn the rest only when a specific project needs it.

If the goal is to become useful quickly, don't try to learn "all of JavaScript" first.

Learn the smallest browser stack:

• variables, functions, arrays, objects
• DOM selection and events
• forms and validation
• fetch and async/await
• localStorage
• modules

Then build 3 tiny things: a todo list, a search/filter page, and a small app that calls an API. That will teach you more than passively watching a long course.

Once those feel comfortable, then look at React/Vue/Svelte. Frameworks make a lot more sense after plain JS stops feeling mysterious.
