How Many Courses Did It Take You To Learn/grasp Javascript? by Naijatask: 6:02pm On Jun 15, 2022 |
Good day everyone. It's just as the question says. How many courses did it take you to learn/grasp JavaScript? As for me, it took a whole year and 3 courses before i grasp the logic behind the language. The first course I took was an es5 course by Laurence turton (a free course). I never even took any HTML and CSS courses when I took Turton's course. So, I can't really recall learning from the course, but I can remember completing the course as the last project was a typing speed test (the course was very basic so no http request or any of the advanced stuffs). Then the second course I took was a course by the best Udemy teacher I've met. I'm talking about Jonas schmedtmann here ![]() I purchased the course for 4,670naira on Udemy (it was during a discount period. So, it was $9). I was on IT when I purchased the course. So, it took me 6 months to complete. And when school resumed? I forgot almost everything I learned from the course since I was focused on my studies. After my first semester, the current ASUU strike happened and I decided to revisit the course. This time around, it took me 3 months the complete the course. Then I went ahead to still take another JavaScript course by net ninja. Immediately after that, I started the advanced css and sass course by Jonas schmedtmann (big mistake). Now, I'm almost half way into the course, and it seems like I can't even write a proper function in JavaScript (obviously, because I didn't practice more projects). Anyway, I'll just move on to building projects with JavaScript once I'm done with the sass course. And so, how many courses or resources did you go through in order to finally click with JavaScript? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Best way to master any language not JavaScript in particular is to practice each step you learn with a project no matter how small. If you watch just the tutorial video and then skip to next and then to next... What you learn may fade within a week because you never internalized it in your brain. But if you learn a topic then give your self a mini project in that topic... Somehow your brain stores that in special place.... If the project you gave yourself you were able to complete it without outside help then it shows you've understand that topic and only then should you move to the next. With programming it's not about how fast you can complete a tutorial.... But how much you can understand the tutorial you've taken. Practice more and watch less. 8 Likes 1 Share |

1 Your knowledge in JavaScript is not based on the number of courses you have taken. 2 if you don't take the right and organized approach then you will always have a disorganized knowledge that will always leave you empty whenever you want to start creating something meaningful 3 There are certain fundamental JavaScript concepts you must master. 4 For you to master these concept you must first understand JavaScript basics (this is your foundation). 5 And you may find yourself helplessly struggling with these basics if you don't get yourself a physical tutor 2 Likes |

Naijatask:The problem with learning courses is that they present so many different ways of doing the same thing that you get lost in the process. For example they would present different ways of splitting a string that you get confused. So i would say have one standard way you can split a string you understand and know. When you do these courses just learn the step to solve or build anything and then use the methods you understand and know to do the job. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Although, for me I don't write JavaScript I only write Kotlin for Android development and I must say this is my 2nd year of learning it. Sincerely speaking, this is actual year I can boastfully say I am now getting started to fully understand the basics of the language. The journey is really rough and tough. All thanks to Google technical writers and JetBrain documentation PDF on Kotlin really help me a lot. There are bunch of Kotlin exercises I always practice and read everyday on my phone or laptop. E no easy my brother!! It consume much time and requires your total seriousness. Learning how to write good code is really a mental stressed manual brain labour. That is just the fact!! You don't need to rush learning it. I stopped watching YouTube videos when I realized I don't understand it but since I discover the official documentation, I stick with the official documentation of the language, I pick up one or two excercise per day to practice, I make sure that i don't move to the next one until I understand it. This how to learn and understand any programming language. 2 Likes |

One will keep learning JavaScript because when it comes to implementation you have to google some methods or an unfamiliar error message even if you're the founder of the language. I recommend "JavaScript understanding the weird parts"as the follow up of any course. It's is on YouTube and Udemy. I still visit that course when I'm chanced. 5 Likes 1 Share |
