I lied in my resume saying i have mid level javascript knowladge while applying to an internship. Now i got accepted and found out i will be using javascript in the job.

So i have like 1-2 weeks max and i need to learn javascript as fast as i can in best way possible.

Can you reccomend me a good guide for this? Or any tips?

PS: I know some programming languages so i am not extremely beginner

Considering last news from Copilot, what do you think about it ? I'm currently learning JS through The Odin Project and I love it, but reading this I feel a bit demotivated tbh...

Just got started with JavaScript a couple of days ago. Have already built a few intermediate projects ( a to-do-list with DOM concepts and a box color changer) with the help of chat gpt. I tried to write most of the code on my own. Got familiar with a lot of concepts. But the problem i am facing rn is that of being able to remember all of it. I mean atp i am just forcing myself to retain the concepts that i have learned. I just wanna get natural at writing code. I just want all of it to become a lot easier to remember. Can anyone help me out.

Made this nerdy video today, check it out! This video is mainly meant for programmers, but could also be view by people who are interested in technologies. This is a showcase of how you could pass I Am Not a Robot - image test, by being a robot 🤖 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uffx74kZ9vU

Been using next.js for years, mass of commits, full typescript stack with prisma and redis. love the framework, but as a solo founder doing everything myself, some things started to bug me:

• the auth docs show "import db" but never explain how to actually set it up

• three different .env contexts (server, client with NEXT_PUBLIC_, and cli for prisma) all behaving differently

• constant mental overhead of "is this server or client component?"

• decision fatigue - auth alone has like 8 options to choose from

• every next.js project i look at has completely different structure

Made a video going deeper into this: https://youtu.be/H5-duvYKRAo?si=cBhamk76V0sUSW7I

Not saying next.js is bad, just that laravel's batteries-included approach fits better when you're solo and juggling everything. anyone else felt this?

Hello guys, it’s been 2 months since I’ve decides to learn about web development. Everything went well with html & css with the udemy course of Angela Yu.

Then come Javascript … was a little a bit more confusing but not that hard at the beggining. But i found out that her course was a little bit outdated so I switched with SupersimpleDev on youtube.

I followed along 15 chapter but decided to stop because I realised that I didn’t understand everything and I was just dumbly typing the code to follow along the project.

Now I really want to start from the beginning & trying a new roadmap, method of learning.

So I write my first post on reddit cause I know a lot went through my situation or can give good advices :)

Hi guys, my goal is to become an ethical hacker. I studied Cybersecurity for my Masters and my Cybersecurity course gave us the basics in Python and I had to learn Javascript for my dissertation.

I am lacking in guidance and was hoping someone could advise me on what steps to take. If I should continue learning Python/JS or any other language and how I should do it.

The word “semantic” gets used a lot in programming: semantic HTML, semantic versioning, semantic meaning of code.

But most of the time it’s treated as something abstract or academic.

In practice, “semantic” just means this: the meaning of something is conveyed by what it represents, not by how it is implemented or rendered.

Example in JavaScript:

const isReady = true;

vs

const flag = true;

Both do the same thing. Only one communicates intent.

The semantics don’t change execution. They change understanding.

Once you start looking at code this way, a lot of “best practices” suddenly make sense.

In JavaScript, the Promise.all() function is one of your best tools when you want to do async work. You can fire everything off, wait for the slowest one to complete, and then continue processing. However, sometimes running it all at once is exactly what breaks production. This is an article describing how to resolve promises sequentially in JS.

Hi everyone, I’m a pre-final year Computer Science student and I want to build a meaningful project that actually solves a real problem. I’m not looking for ecommerce apps, chat apps, or todo lists. I’m interested in projects related to: Automation Analytics / dashboards College or real-world problems Backend-heavy or system-level ideas Tech stack I’m comfortable learning/using: Node.js / Express MySQL React (beginner) REST APIs If you were a student again, what project would you build to stand out in interviews? Any suggestions or real problems you’ve seen are welcome. Thanks! 🙏

I'm almost 35 and I planned to transition from graphic design to front-end development, but prediction that low-level coding is going to be replaced by AI gives me a lot of anxiety, so I'm in a state of "paralysis by analysis". How smart is it to invest a whole year on learning JavaScript and be job ready for an entry position, when predictions are that AI will do that type of work very soon.

Thanks everyone!

This dropping half of my savings on a React course ? is insane.

Is this the state of the art?

People so entranced by the hype of React, or some other FREE library that they would actually consider spending half of their savings to learn a FREE library?

Learn how to write HTML, CSS, manipulate the DOM, and use Web API's. That's all any library that renders Web content in a modern browser does.

Perhaps this is evidence of peak React (library, framework, "AI") hype, and from here people will snap out of it and actually start reading documentation of HTML, CSS, DOM, Web API's and begin writing and testing code by hand.

Or, this is a signal of mass laziness and susceptibility to hype and marketing, from which there is no return.

I know it makes absolutely no sense to me to have any idea of spending money, let alone half of one's savings, to learn a library that is FREE.

can I learn JavaScript and be pro in three months if I put 10 hours per day ?

I've come to realization that node js is nothing but complicated C program, that would mean that Javascript is an implementation right?. I've read that JavaScript was created in the late 90s so did they create it with a language like C?

I can see the elegance in Typescript on explicitly defining each variable as string, number etc...
But I feel much better programming in JS even if it is less maintainaible, less clear in terms of what you are doing.

Though Typescript seems to just add more baggage and more pollution in the code.

JS does everything just fine for me, with less code.

What am i missing?

I'm new in programming and I want to learn javascript from zero but I don't know where to have good lessons to study for several months

where I can study javascript for freelancing

another question there is a language called word press,, is it better than javascript ?
is it for software or web development?
and is easier or difficult to learn?

Hi, I’m an absolute noob who wants to learn how to code. I had started doing some light comp sci classes in 2018, but things are different now. Does anyone have tips on how to get started learning to code now that we have AI? Recommended resources/projects welcome. Thanks
