Why Is JavaScript So Hard To Learn? | WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU LEARN JS |  

Made my day .imma soon come there form Pakistan...our skills have no value here..u get Rs30k/month which is 250 to 300 pounds...it's a waste time and self esteem working here in tech

Thank you so much for these words! I’m currently in an intensive software engineering program and I have had so many moments where I’m like, “AM I EVER GOING TO GET THIS?!” One thing I have to do is look back at where I was a couple months ago and see how much I’ve learned. No one learned a language in a few months or even a year. Languages are learned over time because they evolve, which is something I need to remember. It’s so helpful to hear experienced coders like you affirm this, though!! ❤️🙏🏼

I have been trying to learn javascript for the last 6 months. I just don't understand the syntax or understand what is going on with it what so ever, and I am finding it really frustrating thinking that I will never get there

@@SahraClayton can be frustrating sometimes.....

@Rajandeep Kaur what is the right way????

Omg

Every time man

check logic, spelling assigning and stuffs. haha oh and also declaration.

Facts!

Same here 😭😭

very true I use this analogy too!

yaa

I feel it’s the other way around css makes the structure for html to be within

@@trevorarmstrong6641 And html the materials used!

True

Same

Same🥲🥲

Same here. Thought some one will tell it is easier 🤣🤣🤣

Keep it up ! ^_^

Same reason. I feel so good that I'm not the only one.

Object methods are just functions within objects lol. Sounds like you didn't have a good grasp of objects in general.

@@ieatfood88 shutup

@@ieatfood88 this is the problem with the javascript, while methods are just functions inside objects, then you have Functions who are functions inside global Object and they have properties and methods as well LOL, JS is confusing isn't it

@@CaliburPANDAs you can become a senior developer in 2 years? 🤔

wow, that's me right now, trying to understand objects and implement them on my project and my deadline is around the corner.

Congrats!

Just had my phone interview and from the sounds of it I might already be hired. I have an interview with their lead dev in a week and a half when he gets back from vacation. :D I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED!

Chris Sean That’s another thing. I keep thinking I’m a JR developer (because I haven’t ever worked in the field. Self taught and done it as a passion) and he told me to stop saying that. He said you know PHP Frameworks, MySQL. JavaScript jQuery, Backbone.js as well as html css. He said based on your projects, someone who has all these skills isn’t a jr. They are a full stack developer. It made me feel so good. I thought I wasn’t ever going to be good enough.

Imposter syndrome is a real thing. I think I had imposter imposter syndrome 😂😂😂 Also sorry for pestering you. I’ve just been so happy and overjoyed at the possibilities that are opening for me because of people like you sharing your success and giving me the courage to put myself out there.

do you have a portfolio?

haha funny comment 😂

I'm about to start learning html, css and JavaScript at the same time. I have a really decent knowledge on Java though, so I think it will help me out understanding the JavaScript Concepts a bit faster. Hopefully 😄

@@FusionTM_REDRUM how did it go?

@@dylan4043 I was going to learn Java script, html and css , in order to make an android web app. I decided to go native with java instead, and learned some xml cause it's needed in Android to define the layout of your app. I'm starting to really regret that decision. Android is a completely different beast all together. I exposed myself to lots of stuff and I'm struggling quit a bit. Hopefully it's not gonna get the better of me. Will see though. This platform is very frustrating, even for programmers with 10 years experience in Java. 😬😬.

😂😂😂

Well am fucked then

@@bomitalia3588 *No shit... Everybody learning it would...*

The Doctornaut sounds about right

💩

im in same path as you! Good luck

The grind is real

Kalle Jungstedt how are you doing now?

Its 3 years now. I started 2 weeks ago roughly. Whats up,gimme a heads up.

Are you any good yet? I just started and I'd like to know what type of timeline I should expect.

Toporasca, thank you for the advice. Yes, I went on with learning SCSS in the end. It is simpler and resembles CSS, indeed. I totally agree when you say it is more maintainable, because you have all things together (you can share properties and all), you can build your own templates and share them easily between files and so on, however, I still have some doubts about it when it comes to how it is being "translated" into CSS because selectors are overall longer and that makes the CSS file heavier (at least in my opinion)... But then, again, I do not have extensive experience with it, so I may be wrong... Maybe on larger projects, it is more useful than plain CSS and being so maintainable and reusable really weighs more at the end. I still have to perfect my SCSS skills and implement it in more complex projects to see its real power, haha. Anyway, good luck on your journey of learning/ perfecting your dev-skills! :)

KennyVI how you getting on

@@bennevis6843 yeah i dropped out of uni and now im a stripper, how abt u?

What about now ? Did you made any progress ?

@@harshu2651 doing great, i have become a software engineer working with react

This is great news. I was hoping that it would be easier to learn the others once I get my first one down. I realized today I'm understanding Python better than I thought I was but from what I understand Python is also great for beginners. I'm becoming more and more excited and your videos keep the passion for learning alive!

Hello, fellow Py bro! I've seen a couple of vids, particularly by Jessica McKellar, that said some universities were starting Python instead of other languages because of its ease to newbies. Working on a text based RPG game in Python. Fun yet challenging. If you want to learn more, YT search Trevor Payne, CS Dojo, and Jessica McKellar. Some books that have helped me: doc.lagout.org/programmation/python/Python%20for%20Kids_%20A%20Playful%20Introduction%20to%20Programming%20%5BBriggs%202012-12-22%5D.pdf www.cs.uky.edu/~keen/115/Haltermanpythonbook.pdf

Maybe you can help me. I am learning JavaScript now using Udemy. There are so many functions types. I can't remember them all and also don't know when to use what. If I had to just create the function type it's fine. It's the logic that gets me. How do I overcome this? Please help.

Be systematic ! Just keep going ! Good luck!

Did it get better Hillari?? Im having such a hard time 😫😫😫

@@gabih7481 No. I'm going to go over HTML and CSS again.

@@Mks25932 it is but have to admit is really hard

@@Mks25932 I have to learn a framework lucky enough it's Vue which is okay I think but am required to learn Node.js for a fullstack developer positions from just front end to fullstack it's bee stressing me out

What job did you get with html and css?

monitoring...

Well yeah no shit, if you know how to code in C++ which is a more complex language to learn than javascript then you will find it easier to learn js. Also having the previous knowledge of how to program from one language helps learn another one. You are familiar with a lot of the ideas and methodologies of programming but you just have to relearn the syntax and system structures.

Same path, I just started JavaScript too from C++, I get so mad at JS when I see its syntax breaking so many rules of C++ lol. JS seems like a lighter version of C++.

how is the journey! i take this course on nextwave for mern stack, (im very weak at math) my mern is just started with js which the concepts they are trying to say is okay but the problems they are giving in coding practice is so much difficult for me to solve, no matter how many hours im spending on these problems i can never solve them, -so here is my question: is it about the code you would write again and again and again or the logic you always have to find while solving the problem? if yes the logic i cannot think anything out of logic because it is very begining like yesterday i got to complete conditional statements and it is nearly imposssible to solve the actual problems... i actually have to settle in this IT field for my own personal reasons, what is your opinion from my perspective and what can you best prefer for me, is it the code or tools? in IT

For me, I experimented. Learned the basics of Python and dabbled in making very basic projects like getting names/ages. Then gradually shifted to building on top of that like by adding if/elif, then when I became comfortable with that, I focused on lists (AKA arrays in JS) then moved onto etc etc. Watching JS conferences helps. If you don't know the methods in arrays, a quick Google search will help. As you continue to dabble, you'll familiarize yourself with what does what which will strengthen your understanding.

YES! Also, I can't seem to find good JS teachers. They all teach the basics/fundamentals as you said but never really teach the meat and potatoes and if they do they breeze through it. They show you the basics and expect you to figure out an intense algorithm as you mentioned.

That's what I think too. Many tutorials aren't really digging deep and showing tricks with JS. Just how to assign numbers to values or html ID but never teach you more. The "If else" elements and array methods are also important.

No, you are able to do anything you want. Commit to the learning process and don't be hard on yourself.

How have you been since this comment? I hope you kept at it : D

Lol it is if you have none XD

I love c++ but now I'm moving on to javascript. I hope it's not that hard

Yes

uhhh I was same, I did start on khan academy so I had to make some animations and stuff, and use loops, but it takes a while. I am now happy when I can solve a problem myself, but am better with some topics (if else, objects, classes) and worse at other topics (itterations) .... I have been studying since march I think, and still feel like an idiot. Sooo...yes. It's better though, I see that but when I think of all the libraries I have to learn etc. I get overwhelmed

of course but he's talking about beginners, obviously, like us...I now wish I had started with python or C but well since I already started with JS and have been going for some months, am not gonna stop now...

How are you going? Everyone faces this type of problem while learning and the best way of learning anything is the hard way.

@@harshu2651 wow i forgot i commented that , pretty good actually , I'm able to make projects on my own now Also im doing pretty good in OOP too

@@dhruvgupta5658 are you learning framework now?

@@harshu2651 i tried Vue but then it didn't really worked for me , now I'm thinking for Next.js or even svelte But i have my boards in 2023 I'll continue everything after April 2023 🙂

LMAO

This guy is MVP

Both angular and react are hot. Both will get you jobs. Build the same app using both and figure out which one who prefer and master it. Additionnaly, look at your area to find out which one is the most used, no point learning react if there are no react jobs around you or vice versa. And yes, once you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals, you'll have a deeper understanding and appreciation (or not) of those frameworks.

:( how am a bad guy?

You fix it? XD
