Question

Does JavaScript help enhance better web coding ?. Should i learn it next.(i have learnt HTML and CSS)

Answer 1

Yes. Javascript is great for client-side functionality. A lot of what you expect from a modern website is often due to the Javascript functionality that's applied to it, along with server-side languages (NodeJS, PHP, etc..)

Per JS wiki: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript)

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web.[9] JavaScript enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it,[10] and major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.

Here is what I recommend:
HTML https://www.sololearn.com/Course/HTML/
CSS https://www.sololearn.com/Course/CSS/
Javascript https://www.sololearn.com/Course/JavaScript/
PHP https://www.sololearn.com/Course/PHP/
SQL https://www.sololearn.com/Course/SQL/
jQuery https://www.sololearn.com/Course/jQuery/

ReactJS https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html
AngularJS https://angular.io/
NodeJS https://nodejs.org/
NoSQL https://www.mongodb.com/nosql-explained
Bootstrap https://getbootstrap.com/

Answer 2

Yes bro if you have learned HTML and CSS , then I suggest that you should continue wih the Front end and start with JS.
Javascript makes the website more functional , more accurate etc.
Javascript include functions , OOP and all other stuffs that will help you much in making the website better.
Thanks

lol I agree with all of your points on it, but I suggest it mainly because the others aren't available on SoloLearn yet. For myself, I think it's good to learn all of them because you never know what situation you're going to find yourself in, and as I'm sure you know, some companies don't transition out of what they're using quickly because they're already established and comfortable with what they already have going for them if it works and isn't costing them money. Normally I would recommend Node/JS over PHP any day of the week, but many people still use PHP even though it's been on the decline for quite some time now. As for jQuery, it's just one of those things that I used for many past projects and enjoyed it for what it was useful for during that time. Since it's available on SoloLearn, I throw it on the end of the list.

So ultimately, I guess just have the tools you may or may not need, but don't become too dependent upon one in particular and make sure you're flexible enough to shift with the times/needs of whomever you work for.

I worked under a LAMP stack for many years, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with some of my opinion on it. However, these past few years I've been more focused on MEAN due to how our company has begun to change and evolve over time. Overall, I'm more of a C#/Java (sometimes C++) developer, so I could very well be out of touch with the rest of the world also. lol

Answer 4

AgentSmith Nice list. 😉👌

One thing I might question is the suggestion to learn jQuery.

Is jQuery still relevant today for other professional developers?

I've been discouraging new developers from learning jQuery as it seems to be an incubator for picking up really bad programming practices. 🙃 Also, it's less relevant with modern releases of JS and one-way data flow view libraries like ReactJS working against a Virtual DOM.

jQuery's super easy two-way data binding and unrestricted access to the DOM create real challenges when used with modern libraries. Also, I fear that many who become dependent on jQuery will struggle working with vanilla JS in NodeJS or on teams that really shun the use of jQuery in browsers these days.

I, personally, had to unlearn many nice jQuery APIs when I first shifted to ReactJS and NodeJS several years ago.

All said... it's quite possible I'm simply out-of-touch with the continued usage and relevance of jQuery today and welcome other perspectives. 🙏

Answer 5

Of , course you have to learn i
t...
It has the capability of firing events , making your page dynamic and etc... it also has oop concept,
JQuery is a library for JavaScript...it makes your code shorter ....
JavaScript is essential for front end development.....
It also has a lot of frameworks and libraries such as angular , react , vue....

Answer 9

Yes you mist do it

Answer 10

yeah

Answer 11

Javascript will be very useful, not only for webpages, also, there are many things you can build using javascript and Node server. But maybe you can go a step further and learn TypeScript. It is a superscript made by Microsoft, which makes programming more similar to Java or C#. and is used in many popular web frameworks like Angular from Google.
