I am mostly working in another language (OpenEdge 4GL) but what I try to do is to build small examples that do what I want to be done. I am building a proof of concept. That helps in understanding the problem. What you build does not need to be rock solid, it can totally rely on a happy flow of things, but it helps you in understanding what is going on.
And to keep learning I often build things that should not be built with a 4GL, like games. It is hard to build a game in a language that is not suitable for that. I already built minesweeper, breakout and sokoban. It is fun to do.
Thanks for this article, looks like an excellent list. I am guilty of at least #1 and #4 ...
No problem, anytime!
Well Then, I think I'm completely at the wrong side of learning javascript and I really felt that before but till now I can't find the right way to learn javascript, I would be so glad if you suggest me a free course(Cause I'm living in Syria and there is no payment method I can charge with for paid courses) or a place I can build my javascript knowledge in a good way.
Hi Amr, please see my comment to Aye Aye Mon below as I have just posted the answer :)
Thank you friend, I will take a look
Great article! Thank you very much!
ada orang indo disini haha :D
Can you recommend some resources to learn JavaScript?
Hi Aye!
Sure! The best hands-on coding training from my experience is the free online course (actively developed by the community) at freecodecamp.org
A great ebook that helped me a lot was Eloquent JavaScript by Marjin Haverbeke
Hi jsmanifest!
Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm reading that book.
Thanks brother for advice!
Wow this is a great read! I feel like I go through all these things myself! It make me believe that I'm not the only one that goes through these stages alone, which is a little comforting.
This is a great article. I always compare myself to senior devs. Thanks for letting me know that I have to consider the hard work which brought them to seniority. I need to work harder. Thank you!
Yes, I skipped some fundamentals of JavaScript and went into the React frameworks. After spending an year in framework, it doesn't gave me confidence in JavaScript.
Great advice. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this.
