You should check out You Dont Know JS (it is free). The author is currently writing the second edition but the first edition is still a good resource.

A book series on JavaScript. @YDKJS on twitter.

You Don't Know JS Yet (book series) - 2nd Edition

This is a series of books diving deep into the core mechanisms of the JavaScript language.

To read more about the motivations and perspective behind this book series, check out the Preface.

Premier Sponsor

This edition of the YDKJS book series is exclusively sponsored by Frontend Masters.

Frontend Masters is the gold standard for top-of-the-line expert training material in frontend-oriented software development. With over 150 courses on all things frontend, this should be your first and only stop for quality video training on HTML, CSS, JS, and related technologies.

Hi Dev community! This is Bhagyashree. I am a Computer engineer turned into developer into mom into Founder into freelance wordpress developer into a student who wants to be a Full stack developer. 😅 I am currently building my side project in MERN stack. I am also founder/developer of regional community maitrin.com which is specifically built for women who speak/read Marathi language. It’s built on drupal cms and it has been very popular in regional community. We currently have 1250+ registered users and about 30million page views. I love to build new things and learn new technologies. I will be looking for full time opportunities in LA or remote soon. But the imposter syndrome is very real! 😖I never feel ready. One thing that kinda dragged me down personally was getting my son diagnosed with autism. He is 9 year old and non verbal but communicates so much through his eyes! 🙂 It was a very difficult journey getting back from the dark place and start having dreams about working full time again. But will get there I guess. Oh yeah, I also love to write. But I haven’t really written anything related to technology except this essay right here. 😄 Hoping to start my blogging journey here.

Hi Everyone! I used to be an analytical chemist for environmental compliance but after 12 years I decided to make a career switch. I’m a few weeks out from finishing bootcamp and I wish I had done it years ago. This is definitely what I want to be doing.

We learned JavaScript, C#, .NET core, React, and we’re just about to start Redux. Then more React, an Indy project, and BOOM, out into the cold, cold world. More or less. 😁

Now, having even the little bit of beginner skill I have makes me want to learn/make ALL THE THINGS and it’s been tough to narrow down my scope of interest. I want to leverage my experience and I’m interested in designing better laboratory information management system UI.

Another thing I’ve thought about is automating more of my old job. I’m curious about what’s out there for automating sample prep and analysis and what writing that software looks like.

Anyway, back to studying!

My situation was very unique; I was working as a Reconditioning Manager at a car dealership, and we just started doing rentals on the side. I had been doing a lot of programming since I was 13 so I decided to make some web tools to help manage the rentals. The rentals became very profitable so the little car dealership converted to a rental car company completely and the owner asked me to design their website and build their internal tools.

I did that for about 2 years and I learned a lot. I also had a paid internship as a web developer for 3 months right before I got my current job. When I was job searching a really wished I would have gotten a degree. A lot of jobs that I wanted to apply for asked for one, but looking back on it over 90% of the companies I applied at gave me an interview because I had some experience.

The #1 thing that will get you hired over someone with a CS degree is experience. So my advise would be to go build things. Start with things that either interest you or are useful to you, maybe something that will help you be more efficient at your current job if possible.

I definitely fall into the `brand new to all things computer-related camp'. I have just started learning and choose the python book from Head 1st. Like the book and the series seems good. Really debating the benefits of learning a language first vs diving directly into a project. I know I will need to build projects and so on but to become more familiar with computing, it might be best to learn a language first. Thus better understanding the inner workings of this beast a bit better will make the project development a bit easier. It will never be easy, but maybe a bit easier.

Hey all, I'm V (*cue super cool shades transitions). I currently operate vx0f, which is my catch all for my public facing services and 'research'. Right now my homepages are bare as I prepare them for redeploy.

I've always loved programming, so I'm glad I get to do it as a job. I mostly interested in Systems programming (mostly I work on emulators in my spare time, though some of my attempts have been not so well), Game development, and generally just trying to learn as much as I can about various fields.

Looking forward to sharing what knowledge I have and learning about new and interesting things from the community. :)

Hey, I'm Levi. Recently started a series of long drives (Thanksgiving, am I right?) and consequently, a series of podcasts. Saw the Stack Overflow podcast was rebooted, gave it a listen, and consequently heard about dev.to for the first time.

I've been shifting to focus almost exclusively on C# and .NET stuff at work for the last few years, but I've had to work with Python and C/C++, and I've delved into Rust in my spare time. I tried to write a Windows Driver in Rust recently... it didn't go well.

Hi Everyone, my name is Rowland! I'm a web developer with 7+ years PHP/MySQL/CSS, a working knowledge of Laravel/Vue, and some interest/beginner experience in serverless tech. The past year I've also been lucky enough to lead a team of 4 developers, and wow it's the biggest challenge of my career!

I'm here to connect with other people who want to make a great web product, no matter the content or technology. I love when people think creatively to make something efficiently, maintainable, and meets project specs. Great things happen when we invest time and energy into making our code, product, and presentation beautiful. Taking artisan-like ownership of what you develop is what separates good programmers from great ones.

Hello folks!

I'm Maria from Colombia. I'm an electronic engineer and a passionate maker who loves to share general knowledge about the Internet of Things (IoT) through tech communities; sharing knowledge is the best way to learn ;)

I've developed a couple of IoT projects with C/C++, Python, and Javascript under different hardware platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Particle, among others. Also, I've tinkered with different communication protocols and standards specialized for IoT such as MQTT, Sigfox, LoRaWan to name a few.

I joined DEV because it's a really cool platform to connect with developers, to get inspired by reading your experiences, and keep sharing my knowledge!

Hi, I'm Jason. I'm not a software developer, but I love to tinker with new software. This is much to the frustration of my wife. I've since left one of our PCs alone so it would stay in a working state no matter what I'm up to. I would love to learn enough to be a sys admin, though I still have a lot to learn before I'd trust myself with someone's network.

To be honest, I've been feeling that there's more and more things that I have to know, but not enough time or energy to put my focus on. It has hit me that I am getting slower with picking up these new information, and I'm fearing that I'll be out of the loop, and a job, very soon.

Well, that's me venting out my frustrations! I am looking forward getting everyone's perspectives here.
