JavaScript has a way of making even experienced devs scratch their heads.
But learning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve got someone to walk with you through the process.
This series is here to help you move from “ugh, JavaScript is so confusing” to “hey, JavaScript is actually kinda cool!”
What This Series Is About
The JavaScript Crash Course is a practical, hands-on learning journey here on dev.to.
Whether you are just starting out or brushing up on modern skills, I hope to take things step by step with clear explanations, runnable examples, and real projects you can be proud of.
Here is what you can expect along the way:
- Bite-sized lessons that get straight to the point
- Code you can run immediately, not just theory
- Projects that grow in complexity, building your confidence
Schedule
New parts will be published every Tuesday and Wednesday (and maybe Thursdays if you are hungry for more).
The Roadmap
We will start with the foundations, then layer on modern features, async programming, the DOM, frameworks, backend with Node.js, and eventually full-stack applications.
Here is the path we will walk together:
- Fundamentals: syntax, variables, closures
- Modern JavaScript (ES6+): arrow functions, destructuring, modules
- Async JavaScript: promises, async/await, the event loop
- DOM and Browser APIs: events, storage, modern web APIs
- Frameworks and Libraries: React, Vue, Angular and when to use them
- Node.js and Backend: REST APIs, databases, authentication
- Full-Stack Development: Next.js, serverless, real-time apps
- Advanced Topics: design patterns, testing, TypeScript, security and more
Don’t worry about the details just yet. Think of this as our map — we will take it a step at a time.
What You will Build
Learning is easier when you create things. Throughout the series, we will work on projects like:
- Interactive web apps
- REST APIs and GraphQL services
- A real-time chat app
- Pieces of an e-commerce platform
Each project is designed to apply what you have just learned so the knowledge sticks.
