learn the syntax first,
here are some of the important stuffs you should understand in JavaScript

1.variable declaration - (difference between "let" , "var" and "const" )
2.Operators - (also try to understand how the "tenary" operator work It's better than "if else" statements)
3.difference between double equals and triple equals (== && ===)
4.understand how the increment and decrement notation works ("++" and "--" )
5.understand the data types in JavaScript
6.Object declaration - (Object literal notation , Object factory , constructors , and classes)
7.Object methods
8."this" keyword- you must understand how the "this" keyword works in both normal functions and in es6 arrow functions
9.arrays - learn everything about arrays, this is very important (sort , pop , push , first class functions - (forEach , reduce , filter) e.t.c)
10 - DOM manipulation and events

just start from here, understand these concepts then you can move on to building some stuffs without backend e.g Calculator , to-do list e.t.c

Thanks for taking out time to break it down for me

Was in your shoes once, and still would be in the future. You'd reach a stage where you feel like giving up, that you are not cut out for it it. It isn't easy. you start doubting if passion alone can get you through. Guess what...? the next day you are back in it deep, it's a roller-coaster ride.

A few months ago I detested javascript, got some good tutorials, little by little I forced myself to learn it when I realized it the future of web development. Now I'm learning node.js even tho I have a bad habit of not building projects as proof of my skills. I just roll.

Keep pushing bro. ain't gonna be easy. prepare for more moments like these.

I'm also thinking of moving to node. js or React. js when I discovered that there's another part of javascript called Es6 I need to learn...

If you reside in PH, you can contact me.

Not everyone can easily learn their first programming language on their own so don't feel bad, its normal.

Thanks but I stay in Ibadan

A million thanks for your advice...

Talking about constant practice, should I stop learning from tutorials and start building real life projects with javascript from videos on YouTube just like someone advised me...

Another thing is, I already know the syntaxs, operators, and familiar with javascript methods and what they are used for, but writing it offhand myself to build something is a big issue...
How do I cope with this sir?

Note: I started learning javascript early January of this year.

Hi, I'd first of all tell you that i really understand your plight, cos I've been there before.
But, i just want to make one thing clear, "Everything that is worth it, life makes it hard to learn".


I'd now try to answer your question

JavaScript is a difficult language to learn esp for beginners, cos of the fact that most programmers (esp) web developers learn JavaScript as their first Programming language....Going to an I.C.T center believe me, will do you no good, Programming happens to be one of those skills that requires constant practice, You just need constant practice, again i must say that "Programming is not Computer Science"...Yeah, you heard me right...Programming is only a subset of Computer Science...Your lecturers are not paid to teach you Programming, they are paid to teach you "Computer Science"- teaches you how to solve computable problems using algorithms, and that is what Computer Science lecturers teach.

and again "crazy assignments and test" is not an excuse, I'm currently in my 300L as a Physics Student , I've been programming since 2015, i code like everyday.

A million thanks to you sir... Talking about constant practice, should I stop learning from tutorials and start building real life projects with javascript from videos on YouTube just like someone advised me...

Search for this book "Andy Harris' HTML and CSS for Dummies ", though the name says HTML and CSS, there is JavaScript, Php, MySQL in it. Infact, bro, the book is great. Try it, hope it helps.

Note: I'm also a CSC student that is fed up with the way they teach CSC in my school.

Thank you sir... I just search through my tutorial folder and realize I have it. I will go through the book even though I prefer learning through videos.

Guys, please I need your advice and guidance..

I'm very good in html and Css but I'm having problem with javascript. I don't seem to get it even with loads of video tutorial from YouTube and udemy. Maybe, it's because this is a real programming language unlike html and Css that happens to be an ordinary markup language and styling sheet...

Please, is it possible to learn this stuff myself coupled with the fact that I'm still in school with some crazy assignments and test ready for me?

Or I should look for money and go learn it at an ICT centre?

Note: I'm a computer science student currently being taught C++ as one of our courses but my lecturer is only teaching us what to write to pass her test and exams.

This country Don fall

lol... I said it, surprises go full this year

Some doctors are just pervert...

But come to think of it. Your sister's story is not adding up.
You mean the doctor open her top and she kept mute without stopping him, the doctor futhered to her bra and open or shifted it then start handling them and she didn't shout or stop him... haba

I'm very sure before he even opened her top, she must have seen some sexual body language from the doctor, but she chose to ignore them for reasons best known to her..

Abeg, tell your sister to say the truth...
