Scrimba is an awesome resource, I go there whenever I need to refresh myself on the nuances of Grid or Flexbox. I believe the founders, @somebee and @perborgen are both part of the Dev.to community.

Great work @mehmehmehlol whether it's a bootcamp or a course like Scrimba or Codecademy it always feels like a firehose, building more projects and going back to basics is a great way to nail down some of that knowledge.

I am giving it a go with JS and React as well :) One thing that I kind of don't like about Scrimba is that I want to use VSCode and my own environment but it can be replicated.

Other than that I have been trying to learn for a few years and always found resources like FreeCodeCamp useful, but if I didn't practice something coming back I didn't remember anything I really did including exercises. I think its the case for any learning resource that it needs deliberate practice in order to cement preferably on real projects.

I know what you mean! I wish they let us clone the repo or something to our own code editor! I had to copy and paste, but unfortunately not the image files :(

On Scrimba, you can download a zip file with all the files and images included. Click the gear icon in the lower-left of a screencast and choose "Download as zip"

Yeah I ignored the images and just wrote the code in the editor for the JS tutorial one. Are you going for the react as well?

I am working on the last project in the JS course. Since I am skipping most of the intro stuff, I am able to finish the tutorial/each project within a short amount of time. I am going to move on to React right after this!

I watched the intro to react by bob ziroll on scrimba and it was truly amazing, although fcc introduced me to the course by uploading it but I watched it on scrimba rather than the youtube channel of fcc just because i love the code editor+video thing on scrimba.

i couldnt agree more!!! it was quite confusing at first, it took a little bit to make the adjustment. i also like how they would teach you how to google certain things and break down the technical stuff for you.

I like(d) Imba.

But till then I found DML, look at the implementation of a tiny Counter here :

import {button, idiv} from "./dml"; 

function Counter () {
    let count = 0;
    let value = idiv("0", {style:"padding-right: 10px"});
    let binc = button("inc");
    let bdec = button("dec");
    binc.onclick = () => value.innerText = ++count;
    bdec.onclick = () => value.innerText = --count;
}

Counter()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Directly in the browser, pure Javascript.
I wrote a post about it here : DevtoArticles
