If I were to restart Javascript again from scratch then I will follow this roadmap.
It is worth noting that as a beginner in the subject, much of the learner’s interest lies in the hands of the tutor.
An inefficient tutor can pretty quickly lead to the learner losing interest in the subject.
This can have implications for your career growth.
JavaScript basic steps:
- What is JavaScript?
- Declaring JavaScript Variables: var, let, and const
- Basic math in JavaScript — Numbers and operators
- JavaScript syntax
- ES6 let VS const variables
- Arrays, Data Types, Strings
- Conditionals & Looping code
- Object basics
- this
- Objects and Classes
- Functions & Scope
- Functions — Reusable blocks of code
- Function return values
- Arrow Functions
- Reference vs. Copy
- Inheritance in JavaScript
- Working with JSON data
- JavaScript Dates
- JavaScript Timers
- DOM & Events
- Asynchronous JavaScript From Callbacks to Promises, to Async/Await.
- JavaScript Event Loop
- UI Events
- Forms, controls
- Document and resource loading
Advanced Topics:
- Functional Programming in JS
- Advanced Working With Functions
- Closures
- Regular Expressions
- Unicode in JS
- Object prototypes
- Storing data in the browser
- ES6 Modules
- Object building practice
What many JavaScript students make mistake is that they keep on reading JavaScript tutorials one by one, and do not implement any of them.
Time to build more projects:
A Simple and Effective Way to Learn and Practice JavaScript:
JavaScript runs over the web today, no doubt & for every front-end developer, no matter if already experienced or at the start of your career.
Frameworks come and go, but JavaScript will stay Forever.

I would say the better you understand why and how JavaScript works and doesn’t work.
The more solid your code will be...
The more you’ll be able to effectively harness the true power of the language...
Happy coding.

I love this article. wpdigitalservices.com
You're totally right. Studying a CS degree to end up building JS crap is a waste of time. The CS degree allows you to design a language from scratch and ditch JS.
I think you got too many "fundamentals" in your list. The fundamental concepts that need "understanding" in order to develop anything should be pass-by-reference vs pass-by-value, lexical scope, execution context (hoisting and this), and asynchronous JS/event loop. The rest of your list is just learning syntax or working with specific APIs which you can learn about when you need to use it.

SCRIIIIIIIIIIIIPT
clickbait article
As many others.
To be honest this is the exact road map most programming languages will take you through.. as you get involve in more and complex javascript applications or projects, you will learn to apply different aspects of javascript you will need to resolve design and architectural flow of the project. In my opinion after learning and understand how javascript works and interact with html, css and etc. I will suggest that you learn modular, class and prototype patterns very well before diving into frameworks.
LMAO 🤣 this guy peter... 💀Man livin' 90's
Why don't you mention TypeScript dude ?
My roadmap to JavaScript was so weird, I knew Python then a learnt ReactJS 🤡, as time went by I became well versed in JavaScript and now have a job writing it.
😂😂😂😂 this comment section is filled with people that have no idea what abstraction is.
I get it’s painful to see that you spent thousands of dollars on a degree and people only watching a $10 course and reads some dev articles is considered on the same playing fields as you… but commooonn a degree is just a sheet of paper to try and prove that you have knowledge on something, it doesn’t automatically mean you truly have knowledge on that subject 🙂.
Self taught or not, even you with a degree most of your knowledge is gotten from you reading personally.
So please stop the gate keeping and reduce the toxicity. ✨🌈
abstraction is when you just use typescript, right?
Hehehe, just went to your profile you really love typescript, and nah abstraction isn’t just typescript
Thanks 👍🏼😊
JavaScript is really difficult to learn because there is so much to learn. All of that is not required to build a web app. As an integrator who puts together a web app using various libraries and frameworks, I don't see a need to learn all the nuances. Yes, I flunk interviews. But I have developed and am maintaining a robust source code that other developers can understand, if needed. So, learn JavaScript the way you want to. There is no recommended path that I can think of.
I love how you arranged everything.
People have different ways to learn.
It's all about learning and
not stoping.Happy coding
Thank you

Mr fundamentals and cs degree.
It's funny how you read and gave this article engagements without addressing a big problem with this roadmap.
Objects, this and classes before functions and scopes.
I guess you've been too busy looking for unimportant things like people with no cs degree.
@tyaga001 I personally think learning methods before basic function is borderline mentally suicidal.
