Hey everyone! I've just jumped into learning JavaScript, and I'm a total newbie when it comes to programming. I'm looking for effective ways to practice and improve my skills. Any tips or resources would be super appreciated!

It's a good idea to start with the basics of HTML and CSS first, even if just a little, so you can understand the context of what you're doing with JavaScript. It’ll make working with the DOM a lot easier later on!
I really liked using freecodecamp.org when I started. It’s a great step-by-step platform where you learn by doing, mainly focused on web development. Even if I didn’t finish their JS curriculum, I think it’s a solid starting point!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Just get into a rhythm of watching tutorials and applying what you learn. Keep repeating that, and you'll pick things up. It's a straightforward way to build a foundation.
I think that's not the best approach. It might lead to 'tutorial hell,' where you can end up just following along without really understanding what you're doing.
Check out The Modern JavaScript Tutorial. It's got a clear, structured way to learn. Try to complete the tasks and then build mini-projects for each topic at the end. Google or ChatGPT can help you find project ideas, and working through errors will really help you learn!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm following the 'Sigma Web Development Course' on YouTube by CodeWithHarry.
I've already learned HTML and CSS, so I'm ready to dive into JavaScript!
