Hello Gurus, I want to begin learning JavaScript mostly the OOP aspect since I already have experience with the basics. I am looking for a project based tutorial, so I can follow hands on. Any suggestions please?

I will advise to learn ES5 first before learning ES6 Classes as that's just syntactic sugar

Go to Youtube and search for Brad Traversytar he has very great project videos.

Also search for Dev Ed he has great content and a very good way of explaining difficult things (personally learnt a lot from this guy) he also won't keep you bored with his dry jokes lol.

You can start with this:

I don't really know if it's me but I don't really grab Brad Travesty. I have tried his JS tutorial once though I understood the basics due to my past experience with other languages. Also, I had issues understanding his Django tutorials.

Then try Dev Ed his explanations are good

I downloaded freecodecamps’ build 15 javascript projects course on YouTube.
It’s an 8 hr video, but then i couldn’t stand the instructors voice
So frustrating. You can check it out cause the part I managed to watch was making sense.

Just look for Any website you fancy. Rebuild all the pages using html CSS and JavaScript. I won't advise you to use youtube projects as a lot of people are already doing that and will have the same projects. Also you aren't really learning or challenging yourself as you are just coding alongside the instructor.

Always picking facts and inspirations from ur words

Go to Udemy and buy a solid course, I'll recommended JavaScript courses from Maximilian Schwarzmueller. OOP JavaScript won't take you far as a Frontend Engineer except you wanna be a backend person. Most Frontend codebases don't have OOP, embrace functional programming and the concept of immutability.

I will check this out, thank you.

I don't really think I will have the patience to sit down for 8 hours to watch it, and I may have issues remembering where I stopped nevertheless I will check it out. Thanks for your suggestion

Hmm, I tried this while doing HTML and CSS but I failed when I tried it once at JavaScript, so I think I need some kind of guidance to pick up first then this can come.
I am not adding what I will build from the tutorial to my portfolio due to the fact you stated (it's already random). Your contributions are always valuable, thanks.

I once bought a course from Udemy when I started learning Python, but I abandoned it because I didn't like the explanation by Tutor. I ended up learning from Harvard's CS50 and The Net Ninja.

I don't have intentions to be a Frontend Dev, I already write Django and I intend to continue on that path. I only want to add Node.Js to my skill set that's why I am learning JavaScript.

Yeah, if you read my comment you'll see where I stated Backend there cos that's where OOP is heavily used. Udemy is great, probably you didn't research properly before buying then or the tutor wasn't good enough.

Learn ES5 basic, but use this book as a reference guide meaning learn the basic and move to ES6 and be consulting this book from time to time.

I agree Udemy is really good, I hope to go back there to get my AWS course after learning JavaScript.
I bought the course because it was what they used in teaching in an online boot camp I attended, and I thought it would be good but I have learnt from my mistakes.

If you need more knowledge of JS.
Checkout the “You Don’t know JS” series

Perhaps are you backend or frontend?

It’s actually 15 projects you’ll be building so you know why it’s that long.

I will check it out, thanks. I am a backend dev.

Let me see how it goes, I may end up watching it.

@Qtguru, please what is your interns stack?

Internship and Connect

I am glad because I hooked up a Figma guy with a new small quick gig, and also the intern guy, I guided him to create an Upwork profile and I refered a job that came to me, He has finally gotten his first client to work with. I am glad this guy took all my advice, cuz I get depressed assisting people, because sometimes It feels like I am forcing people to do certain things.

Morning bro. I am learning JavaScript too but I don't have knowledge of HTML and CSS. Should I go back to HTML and CSS or can I achieve great things with just JavaScript ?

All John Smilga's courses are project based.

His javascript course helped me in my Web dev/Devops journey

You can use JavaScript alone for backend with nodejs without HTML and CSS.

Boss, btw frontend and backend, which one has more remote jobs and easier to learn
