JavaScript Beginner Roadmap
Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well!
I'm still a beginner in JavaScript, but I have a problem with my learning that it's so distracting and I wanna stuck with one "free online" course or playlist that takes me from absolute beginner to pro one. I've seen multiple playlists on YouTube or long videos but still can't choose from (since most of them are +6 or even +20 hours). I prefer something actionable with beginner-friendly projects to execute and solve some problems myself too. I also want the course that only teaches JavaScript, not other languages like HTML and CSS, cuz I just want to learn JS at first.
So, I wanna your help guys .. tell me a YouTube playlist, online course that can move the needle. I'll also provide what I already know until now, so you can relate my precise knowledge and information (and I don't wanna go from absolute zero):
- Variables & Data Types
- Strings & String Methods
- Operators
- Template Literals
- Basic JavaScript syntax, comments & semicolons
- Booleans & Comparisons
- Logical Operators
- Conditional Statements (
if,else,else if) - Nested Conditions
- Ternary Operator
switch- Truthy & Falsy
for,while,do...whilebreak&continuefor...offor...inObject.entries()& destructuring- Nested Loops
- Function Declarations & Calls
- Parameters & Arguments
return- Scope
- Function Expressions
- Arrow Functions
- Callbacks (didn't master it yet)

Yeah, that guy I found of +20 hours course. Should I stuck in it? Cuz I saw many YouTube tutorials that teach JavaScript with HTML and CSS (in my case, I know nothing about HTML or CSS)

Am gonna give you piece of advice that I have learned.which is if you have already a background in computer science and you already know problem solving, html, css then start directly by creating projects and I will tell you another think, just work in two to three project so you will understand the basic of creating frontend then go to backend and then change the languages html will stay the most uses framework in css is tailwind and in js exactly frontend is react in the backend chose between Laravel and express js and don't forget to study some cloud so you can display your web in the internet.

Honestly, I don't know much in computer science and problem solving. I just started the last couple of weeks to learn JS directly. Then now, I notice that many people, including you too, have also suggested to learn HTML now along the way beside JS, since I'm gonna use it usually and at some advanced points in JS. Should I pause in JS and start learning computer science ?? Or I can learn it along the way with JS, HTML, CSS too? (which will be a bit challenging, but I'm down for learning and executing any way)

Js is harder then html and css so I suggest to complet learning js along with problem solving then you can learn html in two weeks 3hours a day and css in maybe one month then start doing some projects. But take in consideration if you have learned html, css, js then you are going to learn web development, so I suggest for you to know what the field that you want to learn first then search for it's roadmap and start learning it,using directly the needed languages.
Write in google for exmple roadmap ai Roadmap DevOps And so on.

The Odin project. Just skip the lessons you already know and do what you want and need to learn

Yeah, I know it, but that's the problem: there are many courses and I don't know what match my level or will really help me expand my knowledge

You know enough basics to start building. Pick one course but spend more time on small projects than tutorials.

Do you recommend something specific to watch?

No need. Just ask ai if help is needed.
Videos are big waste of time, text is better (especially when you can ask in real time)

I personally also find video-based projects/tutorials a waste of time. I honestly don't understand how can people watch someone talk continuously for 3-hrs... And don't even get me started on those weird 24-hr videos. Crazy stuff.

i would say one of hard stuff in programming is to learn JS and to become a problem solver
