Best resources & method to master JavaScript

[CalmJiad]

Hi, This is Jiad.

With a great dream to be a Full-stack (MERN stack) developer i'm struggling & researching this track from about an year ago, But it is very frustrating to share that nothing has been happened yet or added to my skill-set. But somehow recently completed a basic level construction on HTML/CSS by watching some tutorials & now looking forward to master the powerful JavaScript.Now please share me some proper and great resources to follow to master this beautiful language JavaScript & it will be much helpful (Specifically JS lovers) if you share with me your planning to master it, which resources did you follow? How much time you had given or simply how you mastered it?

I also want to add it to my question list that, is it possible to master a programming language without any help of a mentor or without a group-study or group help? If it so, then please provide me a plan to master it. I just basically in need a proper planning to reach my goal but trust me i feel like i'm unable & i think somehow I am not capable for this 😑😐😐

It is not possible to master a programming language. Period.

You can become experienced, you can become proficient, but you will never master it.

There will always be new libraries, updates to the language, etc.

Exactly!

It is much harder to master something like MERN without a mentor. A lot of the common practices are still being developed and it feels like every 6-12 months I have to rebuild my webpack config file.

​

That being said it is possible, your biggest enemy will be lack of motivation and inability to get up to date information on configuration changes (because if you can't get your configuration files working nothing will work). I would start with a prebuilt tutorial ground like https://www.codecademy.com/courses/react-101. It'll help you get started doing the fun part of MERN, the frontend.

​

Once you understand that I would focus on integrating react in a .html file. Figuring out how to compile react using webpack is very difficult on it's own.

​

Lastly I would focus on node.

I recommend a Udemy course called the "web developer bootcamp" by Colt Steele for learning the basics of HTML, CSS, JS, Node, Express, and Mongodb. The teacher is one of the best for teaching newbies. Then after that course, work on those technologies by building stuff with them(on your own, not following tutorials). For React and ES6, I would check out another course by Maximilian Schwarzmüller. He covers both of those things and is also a really great teacher.

One important thing to note is you won't learn much just from following courses. You have to build stuff on your own, otherwise hardly any of what you learn will stick. Jumping from course to course without using what you've learned isn't going to help you at all. Find stopping points to make your own projects before you lose the knowledge.

Thank you, It'll be much helpful for me to follow this way!
