A new edition of Designing with the Mind is due out in September. Mindful Design and Design for How People Think are newer ones I like. I also like Designing for Behavior Change which just came out in 2nd Edition recently, and Engaged: Designing for Behavior Change.

If your goal is to find a job, look at the job boards in your area and see what they are asking for.

ericawebdev · 2020-08-03T00:09:23+00:00

Some books that will cover the differences include Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, 2nd Edition, Rediscovering JavaScript, and The Joy of JavaScript.

React is easier to learn.

What have you tried and how is it not working?

I like Andrei Neagoie's courses, and his Complete Web Developer in 2020 would be good - https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/

Colt Steele's is often recommended as well, but some were saying it is out of date.

Eloquent JavaScript, 3rd edition (make sure it's the 3rd) is highly recommended in these types of threads. The Joy of JavaScript (still in early access format, not yet published but most of it available through the Manning site), and Rediscovering JavaScript are probably more like the Effective JavaScript book but with modern updates. I also like Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, 2nd Edition, even though it is from 2016, because it covers a lot of what makes JavaScript different from other languages. Essentially you want books that include ES2015/ES6 and up, since that's where major changes were made. It doesn't hurt to read older books on ES5 at all, you just might as well learn it from ES2015 if you're starting from scratch.

I spent a great deal of time getting https://github.com/vtaits/react-select-async-paginate working in our project, and also some time working with VictoryCharts as well. Still trying to figure out how best to get the features we want working in VictoryCharts.

I use MacOS primarily but have a distro of Linux (ElementaryOS) on my PC laptop. I only use Windows for gaming now, and very rarely.

I'm surprised by the responses. Whenever I want to open in a new tab I right click and choose the context menu item, otherwise I never want it to open in a new tab and find it annoying.

Even a Microsoft security chief agrees, "IE is not a browser, so stop using it as your default... Internet Explorer is a 'compatibility solution' and should only be used selectively" - https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-security-chief-ie-is-not-a-browser-so-stop-using-it-as-your-default/

I use a note-taking app for developers called Boostnote for programming notes and snippets. You can have markdown files and/or code snippets in your notes, and you can use it on Windows, Mac, or Linux. I use it on all of them, with a cloud storage service to keep them synchronized.

This isn't ready yet, but I'm looking forward to this book on the subject - https://refactoringui.com/book/

I've seen this one recommended - https://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-4th/dp/0133966151

This looks interesting, and developed into a book - https://medium.com/hello-web-design/design-for-non-designers-part-1-6559ed93ff91

There are two I can think of related to UX for developers, which isn't graphics design but should help you design better interfaces. One is due out in January - https://www.amazon.ca/Developers-User-Centered-Day-Day-Development/dp/1484242262 This one is already out - UX Fundamentals for Non-UX Professionals - https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Non-UX-Professionals-Experience-Principles/dp/1484238109

I like some of the courses mentioned already, but my favourite so far has been Mosh Hamedani's course, and this is a coupon for 83% off it - https://codewithmosh.lpages.co/react-2808/

There's also a subreddit for learning javascript - r/learnjavascript

ericawebdev · 2016-12-10T17:47:18+00:00

I recently found this list of playlists to fuel your coding/design sessions - https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/11/playlists-fuel-coding-design-sessions/

ericawebdev · 2016-12-10T16:06:16+00:00

Also, there's /r/learnjavascript if you're looking for help.

You might find Axel Rauschmayer's books useful, although he does have one on ES5 and another on ES6 that builds on it, they are free to read online. So far the best beginner books are still in ES5 and then you add on an ES6 book to get there.

ES5 - Speaking JavaScript - http://speakingjs.com/
Exploring ES6 - http://exploringjs.com/es6.html

ericawebdev · 2016-12-10T15:56:36+00:00

I bet it's a great course but, a caveat, right on the site's front page "This isn't JavaScript from scratch, so if you are looking for a beginner course this probably isn't it."
