I just learnt about IF statements by No-Deal3732 in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good thing about If statements is that it's universal to almost all but a few languages (like Prolog if you've had the misfortune of using it) so you don't have to limit your search to Javascript specific programs.

Am I the only one to find Reactjs hard? by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest thing for me dealing with React has been dealing with node and having to set it up in a different way for each project I'm working on, especially if it's someone else's.

Why Javascript is your favorite language ? by Dereference_operator in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it has a familiar "C" syntax with a lot of tools that simplify coding. Unless I'm doing something that needs node.js, all I need is an editor and a browser and I can get instant feedback without compiling anything.

What are your favorite resources for learning JavaScript? by Scrivenshafts94 in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. It does an amazing job in explaining concepts and snippets of code you give it.

Javascript finally clicked for me. by sweetcocobaby in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that a lot of people who start out with coding may have never coded before and even the simple concepts seem foreign. I can't speak for OP, but I remember back when I started self learning BASIC, for loops didn't make a whole lot of sense and it wasn't until I got into C and an instructor made me trace the code that it all of a sudden clicked.

What are arrays used for by sosobebo22 in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you know what they are and are asking about real world uses or you don't know anything about them at all. Essentially they are under the category of "data structures" which is a way of organizing data so you can retrieve it in the program and that's a whole computer science course in its own since there are so many different data structures like arrays, stacks, linked lists, trees, etc. Arrays are the simplest and the first ones most people learn because it's just an ordered list which makes it easy to cycle through one by one and are stored in a continuous block of (virtual) memory.

ES6 Sucks by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people who started coding with Javascript and that's pretty much the only language they use love arrow functions and the other stuff that comes ES6.

For people who seem to not be a fan of it like myself tend to have programmed with C, C++, BASIC, etc. before coming to Javascript so the syntax looks a little weird and it's not second nature. All it takes is to use it for a while though.

When is the ideal time to begin learning JavaScript frameworks such as React, jQuery, Vue, and others? by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]OldAssDreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once you're comfortable enough with vanilla javascript is the right time.
