i taught myself javascript by devouting 5 hrs a day for one year. consistency is the key not coding today and leaving it till next week
Don't mind they think say na play some will even be jumping from one language to other. Learn Java today dump it to take up Django tommorow also dump it for C++ in the coming months. Directionless unfocused want to be programmers full Nairaland.
A want to be programmer must have a niche in programming then learn and understand that particular language put in extra work to be best at it.

Can only JavaScript be used to develop a project like ecommerce?

Most coding bootcamps in Nigeria have really useless shitty websites. I could build better after 3 weeks of basic HTML and CSS. What value do they have to offer? I am currently learning JavaScript. I use a book eloquent JavaScript and then I have some Udemy courses. The Udemy courses aren't as detailed as the book though. I also use YouTube to clarify what I just can't understand by reading the book.

I think with respect to Nigeria, bootcamps are a waste of time especially if you want to be world class. How can you become a full stack developer in twelve weeks. Basic to intermediary CSS takes at least 8 weeks and it never ends. What of vanilla JavaScript and it's frameworks then back end technologies. I might be wrong though.
you have paid your dues bro.

I am still learning javascript using grasshopper, w3school.com, a Javascript DSA book by Sammie Bae and grokking algorithm. People jumping around from one language to another, learn to stick to one language and know it well before jumping to learn another if not you will feel fustrated and give up whereas the fault was how you went about learning it. Lemme share a secret I learnt learning music production on my own. So basically music producers have what we call plug-ins. Plug-ins enabled us to add special effects to a song or beats which gave each song a special feeling or effect. Basically there are tons of free and paid plug-ins on the Internet which created a problem I called "chasing the shiny new object".Every time I heard that so plug-in was used in a particular hit song,I was going to download that said plug-in and add it to other hit songs plug-ins which I had saved on my laptop while having other plug-ins that I downloaded as per trying to form unique producer with unique sound. Omo that was how I didn't master any plug-in, my beats were sounding wack till last year when I decided to empty my system and started learning afresh with the music production software inbuilt plug-ins and within 3 months I started making better music's than I had made in all my 2 years doing the music production stuff with monthly breaks in-between because of fustration. Decided to apply same thing to coding when my system started acting up and since I am broke to get a sound card the format has saved me from crying instead I enjoy coding and can't wait to see where this will carry me too. Learners in the house like me learn to focus on one thing and learn it well instead jumping around if not the learning the skill will tire you and always start from fundamentals and learn up so u don't get confused along the way and give up.Omo later guys and thanks to the senior men here for motivating us if I start call names some people will feel left out but you guys shouldn't stop doing what you have been doing here.Una no know the way una don touch my life reach with educating newbies about learning coding the right way the stuff looks easy that makes me feel like I have actually found my life purpose. For those complaining about javascript being hard to learn. First start with grasshopper then move to w3school.com before learning the javascript DSA book.It will help your learning curve and also download the DSA source code on github. Wish una good luck as we dey learn this thing together.Am out,,,

mine was off and on but I learnt JavaScript so well and am good at it. “The Definitive guide to JavaScript” was like my best book also together with many online resources.
I also read “You don’t know JS” series for in-depth knowledge.
I also later went ahead to learn
Introduction to JQuery

good morning
are you on twitter?

Please learn how to download long video from YouTube and practice with the videos to supplement what you are reading from books. The secret of learning any programming language is to code along side your studies. With that you will develop a mental muscle over that language.

But if you have time to spare, then study data structure , algorithms , software design and analysis before delving into learning any programming language.

If you can have a good grasp of data structure and algorithms, to understand any programming language becomes a piece of cake for you. Every programming language uses algorithm to manipulate data in order to produce result. That is in a nutshell what software development is.

Most of us are eager to learn one trending programming language or the other but data structure and algorithms which the language will work on, we may not know much about them.

Programming language be it java, python, php, javascript, c++ or ruby; are just mere tools. Any one you master very well, you can do wonders with it if you know the underlying concept of data.

Finally while learning javascript, try to understand the language as a standalone language and javascript in the concept of DOM(html) manipulation

people always talk about data structure very often
