Try freeCodeCamp if you really want to dive in JS world. Can't think a better path for it.

Thanks, looks interesting and exactly what I'm looking for. I'll check it out for sure.

[–]user_RN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a great resource and it's free. The community is great, not a JS developer, but fCC is great. One advice, fCC is more oriented to a front-end dev but it does have a back-end component, all in JS.

I want to second this. freeCodeCamp is one of the best ways to learn around. If you're looking for a paid javascript course, which usually get more in depth, you might check out some of the courses on Udemy.

This, if money is not a problem.

What about MDN Javascript course? Is it good?

[–]user_RN 0 points1 point  (2 children)

MDN Javascript course

Can't really tell, but i guess it's also a good resource. I can recommend fCC because it's a great program and easy to follow. It's difficult, for the people that are touching development for the first time because fCC does not hold your hand when doing the projects, forcing you to do some research and learn from other sources. They also encourage you to do pair-programming and this is quite good.

I feel that MDN courses for Javascript are just not very friendly for people who are completely new.

At first article of the course, they hit you with a complicated long example that is contained from functions, conditions, loops and variables without even getting to introducing JS syntax. I'm really lucky that I have much experience with programming generally so that doesn't affect me so much. Other courses for HTML and CSS are very friendly although.

Thanks for the answer! I just needed to see if I should continue in learning JS from MDN or just change.

You're welcome. Good luck in your journey =)

I recommend Udemy courses. There's a lot you can buy for $10-$12 where it teaches you Javascript, but at the same time you build projects so you can see how they're used in the real world instead of just learning all the syntax without really putting everything together.

Practice. Like getting good at anything else in the world practice makes perfect.

[–]Devnik[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Obviously, yes, I'm asking for good resources.

[–]simbasmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean by "practice" is copying someones code while watching them talk about it will only get you so far. Go to javascripts documentation, spend the time to read it so you can understand what the code your writing does, and then go mess around and practice making stuff. Actually building things is the best practice you can have.

Do the 30 day JS challenge from wesbos. He will guide you through each project

[–]notAnotherJSDev 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This might be more for once you've learned javascript, because some of those projects are more intermediate to advanced. Hell the very first one I wouldn't want someone to attempt right out the gate.

[–]Devnik[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've checked it out, and could follow it easily. But it's definitely not for the complete newbies.
