as a newbie how can I learn javascript? what should I learn before javascript and how long will it take me to be good with javascript. Thanks

afuye:
2 year 6hours per day you will be good and make sure u build at least 100 projects

I don't like this culture of one way of learning. You can learn Js in any way. Be it video, ebook, podcast.
I learned js and most of the web part by studying ebook, practicing, and checking other people's code. Hence, this made it a bit easier for me when I read neat documentation. I watch videos when things go out of hand but I still prefer ebook.
Choose your style of learning.

You can not finish learning a language. You only need to know the basics and google others later. So stop thinking of when you will master a language like a boss.

Above all is data structure and problem-solving. And this should be the first thing to know.
How do you break down problems you've not tackled before? How do you explain an array, loop, data list, and object to yourself? Then you can use the right tool called programming language to solve your breakdowns.

RemiAbdulSamad:
tnx boss. so you suggest I learn data structure and algorithm before learning javascript

Maskyy:
You learn along because data structure and algorithm are a whole course but are inline with programming.

So to grab the concept, learn along with whatever language you are into.

RemiAbdulSamad:
haba! isn't 2 years too much just to be good with JS

afuye:
I told u what worked for me. This will definitely work when put in hrs

Karlebolu:
www.W3schools.com

You can of course watch video tutorials on YouTube, I'd recommend all those Freecodecamp long videos.
