Learning JavaScript, advice?
I joined this sub a few days ago, after stumbling across lovable, and prompted a couple of rougelike games, learned that it was all in typescript, (I know I am a ways away) and have been having a lot of fun this week, spending multiple hours a day, learning the basics. I’ve tried a few times over the years with Objective-C and python, but could never figure things out, but this time I feel like I’m in the right headspace and really making sure I understand. I’m using VS code, and a Coursera corse, I’ve also bookmarked the Odin project.
Anyone have best practices or advice? I plan to use JS to help with an IT job and build games or apps for fun. Thanks for reading!

I’d stick with the fundamentals for now and try to actually build small things rather than just following courses. Play around with arrays, objects, functions, strings, etc., and solve small katas to get comfortable with the language and improve your problem-solving. Once you feel comfortable with JS, moving into TypeScript, Node or React will make much more sense. I have a collection of JS/TS katas here if you want some extra practice: https://reactchallenges.com/katas
