Hi, I'm also a new JS coder, but I'd like to avoid becoming one of "those people" you're talking about. I've been struggling with exactly what you mention - how to find out the "correct" way to apply patterns/do relatively complex things, but all I get on search results are Medium articles written by bootcamp grads.
Can you recommend any sources of truth/books that can guide down the right path? Of course I'll be going through all the things you mention but I'm just curious if there's somewhere I can get the right information besides just reading through Firefox code, for example.
Thanks!!!
- mercer 6y agoI'd say Eloquent Javascript (available for free online, I think) is a good book to read. "You Don't Know JS" is also a good one! Basically, go for anything that teaches you non-js-specific approaches as well as as a solid understanding of the fundamentals.
- CptFribble 6y agoThank you! I'll check both of those out
- d13 6y agoAnd Crockford’s JavaScript: The Good Parts. Although and older book, JavaScript fundamentals never change and it describes a lot of those forgotten foundations.
