You never really learn javascript, you learn frameworks. I was a js developer about 7-8 years ago and dabbled with jQuery , dojo and the likes and then moved over to backend and mobile development. I tried getting back into javascript again and realized that I just could not get in and start coding. There are a lot more frameworks now that I have to learn to get started and I'm sure that a few years down the line, these will become obsolete too.
- spricket 8y agoHighly recommend TypeScript. It brings so much method to the madness. Build tools are another clusterfuck but at least with TS you have a decently structured language with "standard" ways of doing things
- z3t4 8y agoHighly recommend vanilla JavaScript. With vanilla JavaScript you do not need any build tools. Instead of buying many different kitchen cutting and slicing tools - learn to use a knife.
- me551ah 8y agoI am quite decent at vanilla javascript, but building a website in vanilla javascript is like building a REST API in vanilla C. It's possible but will take a long time.
- tracker1 8y agoI can't speak for anyone else... but I learned javascript and even liked it for most of the reasons outlined before the Good Parts book came out. Since ES6 it's even better.
