🤔 How to JavaScript?

And then he asked: "So, how to learn JavaScript?"

One of the most common questions I came across during the teaching and mentoring experience!

As an answer, I’ve collected all the articles, resources, books, and courses I'd recommend for people who are starting their journey 🔎

Books

I think it's obvious that books are the most important attributes in mastering the language or technology. They are helping to form the right mindset for working with hard, big, and sometimes vague material.

I re-read these books a lot of times, and every time I was exploring new ideas and become a better engineer.

1️⃣ At first, I recommend combining two books at the same time: one of them should be more theoretical (e.g. YDKJS), and the other one should be more practical (e.g. javascript.info).

2️⃣ It's important to write down all the code examples from the book. I recommend opening a repository for the book and work with every chunk of code you see.

🚫 Avoid jumping from one book to another. Pick one or two and read them to the end.

Courses

🚫 I recommend watching courses or videos only after trying to work with books, documentations, and articles. If you tried everything mentioned above and still have questions, then ⤵️

📝 Watch a video and code alongside the blogger making sure to question every line of code.

Articles

Some of these articles helped me to re-learn JavaScript and dive deeper into the language.

Context Matters

There are things in life one learns lifelong. For example, nobody can ever say that she's mastered English. We learn languages our whole life, making them better and better, learning new words, phrases and constructions. The same with programming languages ⤵️

If you want to grow, surround your environment with videos, articles, and even TikTok (sorry) about programming so you will stay on top. Bloggers are here to help you with that.

🚫 Don't forget to code alongside the blogger.

Twitter Accounts

It's nearly impossible to imagine one's life without Twitter if you want to be at the top of the news.

JS world is growing fast, and the only way to stay updated is to follow some of the most popular accounts. The people who design and create the future of JS, share their knowledge on Twitter.
