If you have studied JavaScript or web development in general but still feel inadequate in your knowledge on the subject. Maybe you have trouble remembering or applying everything you've learned. This article is made for you.
Google shows 7,930,000,000 results on “Why JavaScript is hard to learn”. Many developers don't learn JavaScript and switch to another alternative language (although each language has its own specialty) because they think JavaScript is difficult. But you shouldn't be one of these developers. In this article, you will discover “How to learn JavaScript”.
Follow a well-structured program
As a self-taught developer, it is your responsibility to find a standard structure to follow. Avoid at all costs learning everything that comes your way. You need to stick to a set of guidelines. This ensures that you don't forget anything you need to know about the topic.
Free Code Camp is a no-profile organization that offers the best and well-structured study program that can help you learn JavaScript. You can start with any of their courses and continue until the end.
Write complex code in simple language first
Write a piece of code in simple language first, even if it will be complicated or unfamiliar. You will be able to determine what you want the code to accomplish before you write it.
Learn to use Google
This is one of the effective tips that can help you solve many of your questions. If you spend years and years following tutorials by watching videos or reading guides, you will always encounter problems if you work on projects.
Your friends are Google and Stack Overflow. However, you should always start with Google to discover the possibilities available to you. You will be surprised how much knowledge you can gain this way.
Before a week I wrote a article about “How to use Google like a pro”, which I think you might find useful if you want to learn tips on how to use Google.
Start your own projects
If you don't put your hard-earned knowledge into practice, what's the point of learning it in the first place? When you're ready to put your JavaScript abilities to use in a real-world project, rather than starting from scratch, consider adding functionality to a program you created in a lesson. If you need help, consider collaborating on a project with a friend.
Set a goal and decide what you want to study.
JavaScript has many different branches. For this, it is best to choose one technology and ignore the rest. However, if you are just starting out, doing this option will be difficult because it is difficult to know where to start. You will need to follow a well-structured program in this situation.
JavaScript is used for both Frontend and Backend. This means that there are many frameworks to learn, so in order not to get overwhelmed and easily bored, you should only focus on one thing and leave aside all other things apart from that.
This doesn't mean you have to learn just one JavaScript framework. You should learn as much as you need, but focus on one framework before starting the other.
