How I learned JavaScript

Published Nov 11, 2020Last updated Nov 18, 2020

About me

I'm a self-taught Web Developer

Why I wanted to learn JavaScript

While starting out, I wanted to learn JavaScript all because i wanted to be able to manipulate the DOM, but on starting, i got to know i could do better than just that.

How I approached learning JavaScript

I started by targeting online courses, reading books, and attending meetups.

Challenges I faced

Inability to properly sink a lot of terms and how to put them up as codes, but as time went on again, i got to know they only sink at their appropriate time.

Key takeaways

My problem solving skill increased
I became a better Web Developer and crossed to learn React.js

Tips and advice

Be focused. There's nothing special about anybody who codes JavaScript, anybody can do it.

Final thoughts and next steps

JavaScript is a great tool every web developer needs. I now know React and use it as my major framework tool. Next, i want to learn Angular and Vue when i become very comfortable with React, then learn Python too.
