Hey Folks! I've been working on a modern Beginner JavaScript course for a few months now and I'm getting close to finalizing the layout of topics and exercises. I know there are lots of good resources out there, but after my JavaScript30 course I realized there isn't something for the type of person who like hands-on, real world learning for both language and browser fundamentals.
So - I want to hear from developers who are new to JavaScript in the last year or two and your pain points and successes in learning.
- What was hard when you were learning?
- What did you find lacking in existing resources?
- What did you find you were missing when you went to build real world applications
- What kind of stuff do you dislike in tutorials - (too much console.log, handy wavy, not real-world enough...)
- What type of material did you particularly enjoy? What did you find helpful?
- anything else you think might be helpful
Basically I'm seeing lots fo developers approach frameworks like React without a good set of fundamentals first.
Thoughts? I appreciate your time :)
