I recently finished a tutorial on JavaScript. I can say I understand about 20% of it. It's a lot more difficult than what I expected and kind of a pain lol. I'm already trying a different approach by learning from a book. Hopefully I'll get a better understanding of it. So, how long did it take for you to get good at it.

3 months of daily practicing, Find this book JavaScript for Advanced Engineer by Nicholas Zakas, he teaches you JavaScript before jumping to ES6 and others. That was what I read that made me grasp it.

Code while reading too, if possible setup Github account and tackle a topic each day

Here is a shocker. You can't stop learning JavaScript.

whenever I see examples in the book, I always test them out. As for GitHub, I'll join that as soon as possible.

I learnt basically many things about JavaScript but until now I never knew I really don’t know what JavaScript was.

JavaScript right now is a pal to me.
I learnt true JS through

JavaScript: The Definitive guide
You don’t know JS series

The latter was the bomb

Good point, ES6 helped to hide many subtle dangerous part of JavaScript. And if one don’t know about pre-ES6. Such person could be threading on workspace with landmine in close range.

For the record JavaScript is nothing and is nothing or anything close to an OOP supporting language at the core. JavaScript can be configured to write OOP and that is what ES6 did

I think I have one of the "You don't know JavaScript" books. I'll check it out. For now I'm still using JavaScript by tutorialspoint.

Believe me you. Tutorials point is nothing but a reference. Very useful if you need to quickly read about a functionality and some concept you forgot or did not remember.

While you do the tutorial point I will advise you to have a map of what to learn.

Can you explain what you mean by the map?

Learn jQuery and understand it, JavaScript won't be a problem after that. You would grasp the concept of events (onclick, onmouseup etc) trust me try jQuery, the rest is history

I'll keep this in mind

I will advice against learning JQuery in 2021.


It's better to learn React, Vuejs or Angular.

Jquery is going obsolete.
