I’m trying to learn javascript, i dont know where to start and what are the important basics to learn. what should i do?

I started learning about a month ago and i started with HTML, i kind of got it and thought hey, JavaScript seems fun to learn and somehow i got stuck because i dont know what to learn first in JavaScript.

I think around 45 days minimum( about basics) , and may vary depends on our ability to learn and understandings.. 2hours a day and regularly, practice on the concepts what you learn, will makes you more comfortable coding and fun.. Happy learning...

Nabi Louise keep in mind that Sololearn only offers the very barebone basics in most languages. There is actually quite alot to learn in JavaScript. As Maxim Cherkasov pointed out JavaScript.info as one resource but there are many upon searching. Take your time and really practice what you learn here but expect to learn more. It's a truly bountiful language and interpretive language. Yes 45 days for basics here but .. don't limit your studies.

Thank you for answering! I’ll definitely put that in mind. I usually spend about an hour to learn and write things down and spend about another hour to practice on what i have learned. I’ll be able to be as good as you guys in no time!

The documentation is a good place to learn as well. MDN is my friend when it comes to JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

Learn how JS execute code like scope, execution context, hoisting. Then learn how to write functions, how to create objects and arrays, also try to understand how classes in JS works, continue on learning how to iterate objects and arrays, then learn async JS.

I have the same problem. I am now following a 12 euro course on Udemy. It is SUPER clear and goes from knowing absolutely nothing about it to expert. The course is 69 Hours. Link to the course: https://www.udemy.com/share/101Wfe3@3QtMXbFqflFz4P1vpzQCwvwqPsOFWmXWPixx7vVTBeU2nmCdssu9KfySsqHK_SnZWw==/

I see that learning CSS before JavaScript is not required.... have a well-understand of basic HTML and then start coding in JavaScript inside the "script" tag
