> Newbies should read MDN and ignore everything else.
I think people forget how inaccessible it is for a newbie to start writing pure javascript directly from the API reference.
People need tutorials and walkthroughs, and need to build a an internal understanding of how these all work.
Frameworks help them abstract all that
- poncho_romero 2y agoMDN has exactly those kinds of tutorials and walk throughs! It’s not all API documentation
- yawnxyz 2y agoI've been using MDN for a decade, and this is a TIL!
- areoform 2y agoWhich ones? Could you link to them?
