LISTEN TO THIS MAN'S ADVICE!!!!! I'm a react dev & I can't stress enough that how important these topics are.
Glad you agree :)
Could any tell if I should do react in typescript, I am just starting. Please guide me
@@jayantjagtap2976 you can start using JS, learn TS with it if you can. Or if you are comfortable in TS then you can write in TS.
@@swaniketchowdhury I find react with typescript better with type checks but the thing is o cannot find more material to read. And my project is complex keeping the future scope in mind I started the project in react typescript. I want to know your thoughts if I should switch to React in plain js or typescript.
I am from Karnataka India and looking for job in software development. I have completed engineering n have knowledge in JavaScript, node and Android studio. I can share resume. I am in need of job, can someone please help me?
1. Equality
2. Asynchronous Js
3. Error Handling
4. Es6 Syntax
5. Array Methods
Thankyou đ
1. diff between == and ===
2. solved in typescript
3. solved in typescript
4. just standard syntaxes used everywhere
5. map,find,filter,push,pop on arrays
just copypasted description - true programmer

this man just returned from the javascript badlands holy shit r u ok my man
Damn...yes, I'm fine. Very healthy and plenty of sleep. Don't know why my eyes look red and puffy on camera

Omg, you made my day with this comment đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Hands down best video on "JavaScript need to knows" I've ever seen. Great job covering the the stuff that people tend to forget are industry standard.
Wow. Thank you :)
A JavaScript crash course for 2021 would be dope - youâre the most well-spoken JavaScripters Iâve come across.

Please make this crash course of those 5 concepts a reality! đ
Oooh I like that idea!
Yes please
@Lowkey Loki you are hilarious, đčđč
@Lowkey Loki I've been going through that all week. Fairly confident in my concepts of vanilla JS then bam the moment I start learning jquery...đ€Żđ€Żđ€Żđ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
@Lowkey Loki good move. Makes the the transition a lot smoother
I like how you mention items people need to know when learning. I am learning and find people staying too simple, not adequate explaining, or being extremely complex. You are in the middle where many of us need help. I will be watching for your crash course.
2 years on how are you doing?
Man... this video turned waaaay more useful than I thought. As someone who writes JavaScript but doesn't have a clue what they are doing...this is solid advice.
Dude looks like he's been coding instead of sleeping.
var x = (...n) => {console.log(n[0])};
Hmm, I sleep about 8 hours a night but I get lots of these comments. IDK why I don't look like I'm sleeping but i promise I am lol
@@JamesQQuick good! :)
@@JamesQQuick do you drink water, take cold showers ,exercise. Those would probably help
@@JamesQQuick then you need a skincare routine
05:47 - ES6 or ES2015, not ES2005(For new developers).
lol I was wondering if anyone else heard that
I was looking for this comment lol
@@dilln2158 I was shook.
Simple mistake, its not like he said ES25000BC
It's a PERFECT video to someone who's already in touch with JS, but very confusing for a beginner.
Hahahahha right
Totally agree
Thank you so much for this video! I have been living under a rock since I built my last great webapp, I got javascript certification in 08 without ever actually needing it before then and couldn't understand why the programing meme group was always saying how hard it was, then I started to learn one of the modern frameworks and was completely unaware that es6 changes were now standard and I finally understood why everyone was saying it was difficult. This doesn't really resemble the JS I learned back then, but after watching your video and looking up these things it makes a lot more sense now.
I think a part two would be warranted covering:
1. Objects and how inheritance works
2. JavaScript's class syntactical sugar
3. Protected and private class properties and methods
4. How to implement OOP and functional programming with JavaScript
Yes to this!
crash course would be great đŻand seeing how the pieces fit together visually would be very helpful!
i've been learning JS during covid, this is a great review and clarification, excited to check out more of your videos....thank you for this content! and YES to the crash course!
Great video! Lately, I've been more disciplined in doing back to basics learning, and totally agree with the points you made. I have found sometimes, with work I would forget to think about some of them following the patterns and pre-existing code. Another one I think I would like to learn about is logging and alerting for your application. Perhaps that topic is more its own topic, but definitely something I would like to learn more about specifically around monitoring and alerting for your applications.
I am on my 6th month in college for web dev and javascript has been allot to take in, I absolutely love watching your videos when I'm stuck on assignments. You explain things very well! Thank you for doing these videos! Your awesome đ
just take a bootcamp lol
I'm a professional developer, and I agree with all of this, especially making use async/await. One thing I would add is to start using Typescript sooner than later.
Yes! 100%! A lot of this video seemed to be about problems that don't exist in typescript.
... We knew it was (in most/many cases) better back in early 2000 (with other Web languages), it's just as much/even more so today.
Agreed. TypeScript made JavaScript tolerable.
I just don't get this idiotic trend towards loose typed languages.
How is typescript related to Javascript and what are its uses? Sorry I'm quite new to programming.
@@c1u3 TypeScript is a compiled version of JavaScript. TypeScript adds type syntax to JavaScript, which is used to prevent errors such as assigning a number to a string variable.
Interesting, I was just reading a report where the principal developer behind Svelte says TypeScript is ânot worth itâ for developing libraries. Instead, interface types are declared using JSDoc annotations.
I can't stop using [array methods] since I started but sometimes it can be a bad habit. Array methods cannot be broken out of so be mindful with big datasets or searching. Great video!
Great rundown of super important core stuff. As an addendum, I might add: import/export, let & const mutability (and scope), and classes.
I'd add to the list Callbacks + Prototype & Prototypal Inheritance, which both of them relate to knowing Objects in JS. Those are ones that are most used and can be a bit hard to grasp for beginners.
Afterwards try applying basic principles like DRY and KISS.
Cheers!
You are gift that keeps on giving. Thanks James
Yesss!!! Please do the course! And if you can talk about Objects and the This keyword, also using those array methods with objects.
Thank you!!
Agree , especially with the array methods. They are very confusing in the beginning but are so helpful once you get good.
The bags under yours eyes really sell the âIâm a JavaScript developerâ message. Joking, but awesome video. Thank you.
Understanding 'this' and 'prototypal inheritance' are two important topics to consider as well.
These are Interesting insights about some of the key concepts about JavaScript! Asynchronous, ES6 Syntax and Error handling are areas to focus on especially for senior JavaScript developers.
You came up on my yesterday, and this is the second video of yours I've watched. You're spot on. Subscribed!
Yeah, it will be so cool to make this crash course about those 5 concepts! â€đ
I would like to see a crash course on these topics please. Thank you James!
Agree
The first one was SUPER helpful for me. I was really confused about why a line or block of code that has equality could have === or ==. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!
Very helpful my man. I feel I get lost often with Javascript and I'm glad you have vids to can help further explain the simple things
being a programmer isnât stressful!
- james, 21 years old
đ
True đI love it
it is not stressful ? you joking or its sarcasm
He's only 21. Dude looked at least 25. Being a programmer is definitely stressful
Ooooohh I see what you did there đč
Great list, I would say truthy/falsely checking is another fundamental basic thing that tends to boggle the mind of a lot of people I see learning JS for the first time.
Thanks James!!! Thank you very much, really nice video and good advices :D
I say YES to the crash course!
Thanks for this. I need to revise these concepts since i jumped directly into ReactJS practice project to teach myself
Hi James, I'm new to JavaScript, but not programming. Most CZcams tutorials are for beginners with very basic explanations of what variables are, why we need them etc. That's great for the beginners who need it, but not the best use time for me (and probably many others). I'm looking for more 'developer's wisdom' type of videos such as this one. I'm looking forward to your crash course video(s), especially if it contains some lessons of what you learned (the hard way) from experience. Thanks for this excellent video!! ...........Liked and subscribed
czcams.com/video/t-ea0WJKib8/video.html
Did you get a job ?
yes, i love a hands on js course please.
Really enjoy your teaching style. You have my vote for making that in-depth Javascript course you mentioned towards the end. đ
Very good channel. No Bs. No frills. No delays. Very quick easy efficient digest of information.
Asynchronous JS and Error Handling are the most important things that will level up your coding - I would have also added testing. I think everything else is superfluous
I've been programming since I was 10. I've been doing it for a living for 27 years. I've done projects in most major languages. I wrote a single page app with vanilla JS about 10 years ago. I've been writing a new SPA with VueJS for the past couple of months. This is a really good list for beginning JS programmers.
can u plz help me?
I started learning js a few months ago and these 5 things were literally my biggest hurdles until recently. It's ironic that you pointed them out perfectly
Glad it was relevant for you :)
Knowing how pass by reference and pass by value work in javascript is also important, it's basically how primitives vs objects are treated. And not just async / await, the event loop in general, this will introduce stuff like requestAnimationFrame in browsers and process.tick in Node. The best thing is the ability to write javascript that is easy to read. It's very hard to make sure everyone can read your code. This will introduce linters and beautifiers to beginners. Finally, I also suggest everyone to switch to typescript because it's a better superset and there isn't really a reason not to.
Agree on the pass by reference vs value question. Especially with arrays it can be non-obvious to the beginner. Some Array methods create new arrays, others modify the array in place. This leads to statements that look strange like arr2 = arr1.concat(); Why would you concatenate arr1 with nothing? Well, this is how you crate a copy of an array.
There is no pass by reference in JS, only pass by value. If you were passing in by reference, you could change when the reference is pointing to, like you can in C, but you can't. You are passing a reference by value, which is different from passing by reference.
I started with C and then javascript then Data structure & algorithm , after that the speed at which I understand inner details increased exponentially.
Of course. Fundamentals first is the correct route.
Yea , I love to have about briefly explained topics of JavaScript like this 5 and more . Thank you providing JS knowledge to us.
Awesome content! I'm a jr JS developer and this was very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, James.
What are those VSCode extensions youâre using for logging in the editor?
Actually, itâd be nice if you have a list of recommended extensions in relation to JS and React đ
He is using quokka and try es6 es7 snippets
You forgot TypeScript, coming from JavaScript it's the best thing to learn nowadays and it saves a lot of time when developing, helping with type checking, documentation and (last but not least) autocompletion.
Started working more with javascript, this video has been a great help.
Excellent video, guiding me what to learn next. Struggling with some of these concepts as currently learning react on top of decent but patchy JS skills...
Writing these down âïž
Also I would be interested in this becoming a tutorial đ
It looks like you're crying! don't be sad my dude, there are people out there coding in C
I still code in C, that speed is stupid good.
C is good. C is good.
C is life
lol not crying. For some reason my eyes look red and puffy on camera.
Needs must, my guy.
Yes! A crash course tackling these subjects, Awesome!
The way you explained complex concepts with such clarity and simplicity is commendable. đđđ
I think this is important.
And since you cannot really tell what I mean by "this", that's what you need to learn.
thank you. finally someone said it.
I really want to know, which plugin you're using to see real-time errors and console outputs.
quokkajs
And what is that fancy looking editor? Is that Babel?
Great breakdown. Async javascript can get confusing as hell especially since you can't easily follow what applications are running and when.. so having an understanding of these things are important as well as debugging network calls within your web application (but that isn't specific to javascript only)
I just started out and I love watching these type of videos. Today, right now, I only kinda know what your talking about, but I know that in a few months when I re-watch this, I'll be taking notes frantically and get right into practicing. đ Honestly, one of the things that attracted me to coding was the fact that I'll never be able to learn EVERYTHING. There will always be new things to discover and new problems that will no doubt drive me crazy and have me spend hours (days? More?) looking for a solution. I'm just sad that I have to waste time at my day job (where I feel like I've reached the final level and have nowhere left to climb) đ«đ«
The funniest entrance you have done ever đ
haha thanks!
Great video! The way your phrased interconnected ideas was great!
I am literally learning Asynchronous programming now.
function yes{return new Promises();
}
oh man promise are quick to forget
I am asynchronously programming a literal!
Thank you for the short version!
Omw to the array playlist.
Awesome video, sir. I'm a huge fan of your short explanations in this video. I've watched it a few times.
0:03
When the errors fix themselves after 4 hours of debugging
Some code examples while you speak of each idea would be helpful
I like this guy. Seems like an actual subject matter expert, which is rare. After years in test engineering Iâm trying to broaden my scope and really understand the language Iâm using daily (trust me you can be a great QA Engineer and not really know how itâs working).
Anyway, a shocking number of YT channels seem to have no evidence theyâve ever coded anything, and just make videos about vaguely what to learn (hTmL cSs aNd reaCT gUys) and then a lot more videos on career advice and how much money they make đ
Iâm convinced at least a couple of them have never coded at all and just used CZcams tricks to make a channel about it. I respect the hustle I guess but itâs really not helpful.
Anyway thanks, even in this quick high level summary you gave code examples so Iâll definitely be subbing and going through this channelâs backlog
Thank you, kind sir. I'm gonna start watching your playlist for Array Methods.
Do vanilla async projects for beginners like movie search API
That's a great example!
@@JamesQQuick please do this project
Use typescript and the video it solves most of the problems đ
Agreed! Everybody have to stop strugling with JS. Learn Typescript, and thats all.
this is so important for interviews. u must know this 5! thank you for ur help
Thank you this was very helpful because I'm just getting started and now I have a bigger picture in my head. Thanks again.
thank you for video , you should sleep moore
Great explanations. You are great at explaining concepts through comparisons.
Nice video. It is great to hear your perspective. I am going to watch for more!
Thanks! Subscribed. Yes please : crash course on the top 5 would be awesome. Taking a giant tutorial with 100 subjects I might remember 2. Taking one on a focused 5, I remember all.
Great video!! Crash course for all these topics - awesome idea!!
totally agree. Now I need polish my javascript again. thank you!
Great video very helpful. I'm currently practicing my JS basics. Should I also start learning about Async & API's ?
My JavaScript is *very* rusty! This is super helpful to get back into .js shape. Thank you!
Great way to start the dayđ to put this in practice, Iâll try to create a func to generate a spreadsheet like table on the fly with JS with bits of htmlđđœââïž
Oooh thatâs fun!
Excellent video, I would just recommend avoiding over checking because it is often a sign of misunderstanding the workflow and its preconditions.
I would also say don't try catch everything because it will lead your app to fall into inconsistent state
Yes! Looking forward to the crash course on JS
I completely agree with this list and had to learn it the hard way
Loved this explanation James...
Your channel is awesome dude. Watching from Brazil. Thank you!
This video just made my day. Thank you.
I'm learning for 2 months only and it feels so good to hear familiar stuff finally.
Yayyyy
James, great lessons, thanks a lot!
I'm starting out with JavaScript after coming from courses in C#, HTML and CSS, I would love a crash course!
best thing about internet is that you get stuff like this video for absolutely free!! what a wonderful video and how nicely explained
incredibly handy points, thank you!
It was soooooo useful,
Thanks for sharing these tips â€
Thanks for putting out these videos. Although I might not agree with some topics because of Typescript, I value your opinion just because it is different from mine and you take the time to make a video about it.
Different trains of thought is something I encourage. I donât expect to have the answer for everyone :)
Good one James. For array manipulation, lodash offers great utility methods. I must add though that it is outside of core javascript.
Agree with you that these are super important topics, also I think variable scope is tricky for beginners.
glad to see you have some videos on some of these topics
You got a like and subscription just for saying that the async/await is your prefered synthax :)
yes we'd love it if you made a crash course on Java, including these topics!
who are the people disliking this video?!
everything is explained simple and straight to the point! very important topics to understand as a JS dev.
I have done all the things you mention in JavaScript even prototypes, equal tripple equal, Asynchronous, Ajax, jQuery, Error Handling, array functions and so on
