How much does a Sololearn course teach you of a language?

Question

I've been through the JavaScript course and gotten the certificate, but I noticed by looking at other web code that the course didn't teach me all of the language. How much does the course teach you, and is there another way to learn the rest of the language?

Answer 1

Programming is not something that stays the same,

there will constantly be something new to learn.

Answer 2

The courses only teach you the basics of the language, but if you search in the Q&A you will be able to find useful resources, and if you look at codes you can learn more useful skills. Happy Coding!

Answer 3

Also I find that it is possible not to learn, from the courses,

I needed to use,

what I learned to understand and improve.

Answer 4

From the course you get some basics ideas and concepts and you can write some code :) then, if you really want to improve your skill,well you got the basics and you can "talk" (a bit) the same language with a programmer :) or we can start searching more on the internet.

Mainly this platform is like a startup for someone that was never been in contact with programming. If it was too advanced from the start, a beginner can't understand too much from it...so, in future the advanced course(is coming) gonna be amazing for us :D

PS In programming you will never be able to write a code without doing it :) practice little things(they might be bigger then you think) and today you have a problem and read about it, you solve it but you see something interesting on someone else post or code, then you start searching about that :D Beware!!! You might get addicted!!! :)))

Answer 5

Practice and doing small projects mixing other languages

Answer 6

Kate Gregory was saying on a CppCon(c++ convention) that a beginner should start right away to learn to use input and output with files, because when you first learn about basic input and output and then you learn all the other things and at the end you learn how to work with files, then everything gets messy when it should be clear from the start. In real life you need 100% to work with files, you read/save data.

I know it was a bit offtopic, but the idea is that learning some programming language is not a straight path, even in math you need to learn to count numbers then you do more :) probably this applies on every field.

My personal advice, look again in the course and search more about it on the internet.
This platform is really amazing and i belive it making myself more confident in what i can do and maybe/probably i will achieve my goal and change my carrier path :D or even better to work as a programmer in construction/building area :) probably in 10-15years half of the population should know some sword of programming :) we will see.

Good luck and dont give up if you really want this !

Answer 7

Thank you guys!

Answer 8

The courses focus on syntax, the grammar of the language. You won't learn much vocabulary. You won't learn common strategies. And you won't learn the reason why the syntax came to be that way.
