For beginners getting a call for an interview is one of the most exciting experience, but these excitements get flushed once you fail in the initial rounds itself.
Any typical interview in javascript consists of a few rounds.
- Phone call.
- Initial screening.
- Challenges on any coding website like Hackerrank, Hackerearth, Codechef.
- Onsite Interview.
- Offer.
Of these five rounds, the first two are not so hard as you just need to explain the interviewer your interests, your knowledge, and your capabilities.
But the third round is the gate pass for your onsite interview which can be game-changing, as now it is time to prove that you are truly capable of this role.
Yeah bring it on, I am ready!.😎.
This is what newbie feels sometimes, but hold on your are just going to be surprised 🎁.
You need to solve algorithms with all test cases to be cleared to make through this round (Also some other typical question depending upon the role you are interviewing for).
Now all the solved algorithm examples out there are either in Java, C++ or Python, But I only know javascript (Because I am a beginner)😔.
Don't worry Ant-Man is out from the Quantum realm and He is here to help you 🤷♂️.
Note: This list is for beginners only but others can learn from it too.

I started to share the solved examples in javascript only because I failed many interviews initially.
If you feel this is a helpful resource then please share these with others who are actively interviewing.
Also, follow me on Twitter for tips and tricks to solve the coding interviews and more solved examples of Algorithms. I write 2 - 3 post weekly on my blog learnersbucket.com.

Hello Prashant. Thank you for putting a list and sharing a lot of useful resources.
I unfortunately have to be in strong disagreement with the title of your article even though you are perfectly right that round 3 on your list is usually the gate pass to next steps.
What you have here might be better suite as "Cracking the CS Code Interview With Javascript", but IMO is not representative of what a "beginner" or any level of Javascript interview should be. There is a subtle but real difference between assessing Javascript as a language and discipline vs using JS as a tool to solve CS types and algorithm challenges.
Those types can certainly be a part of the assessment process, but cannot and should not constitute the sole dimension in which a JS candidate is evaluated.
Let me be clear though, Google and any other companies are in their right to assess and evaluate however they see fit for their engineering team, but those should be correctly labeled as "The Google Interview" or "The XYZ company interview".
If I'm someone looking at joining those companies, I should definitely study and get prepared accordingly and probably buy a copy of Cracking the Coding interview by Gayle McDowell
If you are an Avengers fan, then let's put it like this: Algorithms and CS are just one of the Infinity Stones. Powerful as a standalone but you will need all six to embrace their true power.
If you want to read more about why I feel so strongly about the JS interview process, you can take a quick read at my article on the subject here. 28 Relevant Javascript Interview Questions - Part 1

Thank you for pointing this out.
I did not have any bad intentions with adding that title "Cracking the javascript coding interview.", it's just I was not able to think for the right title at that given time.
I just updated the title with what you have mentioned as I also think it is better than the previous one.
Hey Prashant thanks for updating the title but I never felt like you had any wrong intention here. The industry at large is subtly saying to the beginners audience that the CS interview is the Javascript interview, but that trend is hopefully changing slowly.
Thanks again and once again the list of resources you have shared are going to be handy.
Cheers
Thanks. Good knowledge library!
I just wanna say thank you for writing such an amazing post. I'll be constantly visiting your amazing website to study. Positive vibes from Brazil :)
Really Appreciate it 🙏🏻.
