Effective Ways to Get Remarkably Good at JavaScript

"Experience is the best teacher", they say. To be very good in a niche is to have lots of exploits with your functions. Javascript is not difficult to study but it may demand a lot of time especially if it is your first programming language.

How to learn JavaScript?

There are tons of resources/materials available to help you learn the basic JavaScript. What is worth noting is that to understand the concepts of basic JavaScript you need to have learnt HTML and CSS.

If you want to be fully-fledged in JavaScript, you have to practice by creating projects! Create projects day-in and day-out.
Below are some projects you can build to polish your skills.

  • Real Time Chat App

  • Shopping Platform

  • Search Engine

  • Distance Calculator with Google API

  • Text-to-speech

Before we continue I'd like to share something with my audience

Aside the aforementioned, I have compiled several platforms to learn JavaScript and to practice through the building of projects.

One of the most amazing platform where you can learn coding totally for free, it has a large collection of courses to learn, real world projects to practice the concept.

Coursera

Coursera, one of the amazing platform to learn coding, here the best thing is that it offers online courses from Universities like Stanford. It provides both free & paid online courses & specialization.

This doesn't offers any courses but there are a several collection of docs to learn javascript, its the treasure of detailed information

An amazing platform to learn JavaScript through building projects, build 30 projects in 30 days without using any framework, only vanilla JavaScript.

JavaScript.info

As the name speaks for itself, this web tutorial focused on Javascript only.

codecademy

It is also one of the best platforms to learn new technologies online but probably the best website to learn JavaScript online.
