It would be better if you learned HTML and CSS first.

Answer 3

Martin Taylor I assume we're probably writing very different types of code and have very different experiences with NodeJS.

Javascript has come a long way from its origins as a language for the browser.

As someone who has worked with Javascript since it was first introduced by Netscape, I used to be more brutally critical about JS than I am about Python. 😉

Each year since ES6 was released, I've completedly transformed my perspective about JS for general purpose development.

While I can't quantify the ratio of JS code written for the web vs non web, it's at least 50/50 for me as well as many other developers I work with or know in my professional network. In fact, for many NodeJS developers I know, they do very little to no development related to a browser.

In most cases, we focus is on micro services, Windows / daemon services, RESTful Services, console apps, mobile apps using React Native, and tons of scripting within MongoDB.

Unit / int tests, dev automation scripts, etc expand this much further.

Answer 4

You should learn first
1. HTML
2. javaScript
3.css
These are first things to learn. these are easy to learn and I also use them

Answer 5

finney osajere Learning Javascript as a programming language before learning HTML and CSS is actually much simpler than it might seem. I know quite a few people IRL who took this approach and it was quite successful.

Most started using online REPLs like JSFiddle, CodePen, Codewars, FreeCodeCamp, etc, and even DevTools.

They moved on to NodeJS with very little issue.

Much of their focus remained on code that didn't involve the HTML DOM.

Just be sure to focus on Javascript lessons that do not involve HTML.

Answer 6

U can also python..
Because it is easy to learn

Answer 7

Well, JavaScript is used for web development, so in order to use it better it would be good to have some knowledge of CSS and HTML, also, since he is a beginner, its just better and easier to start with HTML and CSS, to get into programming. You do need to know these two languages to make web sites after all, its not like he will waste his time or something. If he does not want to be a web developer, then he should better start with another language, like python.

Answer 8

At least here on Sololearn, you can without problems start with Javascript.

You only need to know how to take user input and to show output, then you can play around with much of the syntax of the language, like conditions, loops, functions, classes etc.

Since this learning strategy works just fine with a language like Python, there's no reason why you can't do it with Javascript as well.

Primitive example (just write it into the Javascript tab and ignore everything else):

var name = prompt('Please input your name!');
console.log('Hello, '+name+'!');

Hey bro!
Do you intend becoming a web developer? If yes, then start with html, then css before JS.

It is important to first decide the programming track you want to toe before learning the required languages or technologies.

I started with python because I was interested in data science.

But then, you should concentrate on getting your programming fundamentals grounded

Answer 10

finney osajere its ABSOLUTELY ok to learn javascript first. You dont need to learn HTML and CSS first coz they arent programming languages (they are just used to design websites) So to learn programming learn javascript or python as ur first language. If u wanna become a web developer then there is no problem in learning html css first

Answer 11

Karak10 actually he hasn't mentioned that if he wants to be a web developer or not. If he wants then obviously html css js, but otherwise u dont need html n css first, thats what i said. And he asked about programming, and html/css arent programming langs.

Answer 12

sure. that's a good start
