Can anyone give recommendations for other sites to learn and practice JavaScript?

Question

Don't get me wrong, SoloLearn has been AMAZING for learning the things I've learned so far, but Javascript is really throwing me off and I feel like I'm not grasping it. Can anyone give some recommendations of where I can get more information and practice? Websites or Android apps (Google Play Store) would be the best. Thank you all in advance! You are all incredibly helpful!

Answer 1

Advice from a beginner:
Try to understand every single point in w3school.com
do not skip a single line..
If you don't understand a thing or two in there,just google it and take a note,so that you can recall it whenever you want.
this helps a lot,trust me.

Answer 2

@Mohit - do you have Facebook?

Answer 3

ww3 school is an another option, but I found it more informative and little bit tough to follow for beigners

Answer 4

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML here you can find a lot of good code exemple for html, css and Java script. set up a server in your device, juse a simple text editor and you can run your code in every browser.

Answer 5

tutorialpoint will give you more depth info in JavaScript

Answer 6

Tutorial points, Concise information, (read carefully) and also online practice.

Answer 8

Jessica you were right,, sololearn is amazing but don't depend to much on app and websites. Try reading books, and watch videos. I recommend you to read eloquent javascript there also good books out there I cannot mention all.

Answer 9

codecademy

JSFiddle lets you run your HTML/CSS/JS code directly in your browser, including external libraries like jQuery if you want to use them, and saves all the code online for simple sharing with others.

If you've got a PC or a tablet + keyboard you could just try opening the dev tools of a browser and running some JavaScript in the console. Usually there is an option under the "View" menu of a browser, and on Chrome opening dev tools can be done via keyboard shortcut - Cmd + Shift + I (on Mac, I think it would be Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows). For other browser's it may be the same; not used much else in a long time, even for development. In the console of the dev tools you can type javascript code and it will run just as though it were a script. On Chrome, for me, it is logging undefined after each run of any code, so if you see that happening it may just be normal.

For running JS on mobile I've got Dcoder currently...but it's not much good - very annoying ads. It's really similar to SoloLearn though, as everything seems to be console-based instead of allowing UI and dynamic input/output. I used to like the AIDE app (web version), but they have since turned it into a monster which only wants our wallets.

For some possibly-good alternatives try the list here: http://alternativeto.net/software/compilr-com/ It's likely to be mostly cloud-based IDE's (edit & run your code on their servers), but that's basically what SL here is too, lol.

Answer 11

Khan academy very easy for beginners

Answer 12

I think sololearn should device a way we can send direct message just like slack. Jessica beat me in 2 js challenge, you are really good!

Answer 13

There are loads of videos on YouTube and around the web which are very helpful. There is something about having somebody explain concepts to you that makes them easier to understand, especially when they are synchronously typing code while talking. A great video series is "Understanding JavaScript The Tricky Parts" (if I remember correctly). Gets under the hood to understand WHY instead of only HOW like you find on ww3 & sololearn.

Yes i m on Facebook 🤗🤗 @jessica
