I know next to nothing about programming languages but I've decided to change that narrative this year. I am just learning JS theory and also practicing via the grasshopper app till I can get a laptop to extend my practice. I am a newbie, I want to learn, grow and get better.

Hrishi Mittal • Jan 13 '22

Do you have a phone? There are some apps you can use to learn and practice JS on your phone (without a laptop).

Abdulwaheed Abass • Jan 13 '22

Yes I have a phone. Please kindly drop the names of those app. Thank you.

madalinfasie • Jan 13 '22

Enki is an app that I used a lot in the past and I heard solo learn is also a good app for learning on the go.

I would push more for YouTube tutorials though and actual practice on your own.

If you feel out of ideas, there are websites such as hackerrank where you can practice your skills and learn from other people (on hackerrank there is a discussion tab that will teach you more than the actual problem)

Good luck

Abdulwaheed Abass • Jan 13 '22

Thank you Madalinfasie.

You should check out The Odin Project. It's pretty good if you are planning on learning web development with JavaScript. All the Best!!

Hey! Guys. I'm Web developer from India. I'm good at web development and digital marketing. I'm currently learning and understanding web 3.0. I want to become full time freelancer by the end of this year.

The Architect • Jan 16 '22

What is web 3.0?

kimdontdoit • Jan 16 '22

@rkitect I wouldn't be the best to explain it, but it's blockchain related web development ! For front end development, I found this article useful on dev.to dev.to/rounakbanik/building-a-web3... , but there's already a few useful Get Started tutorials around 😄

Vagif Valiyev • Jan 17 '22

Hi, I’m Jithin from India. I would like to learn from the basic i.e; C as my first language and then migrate to other languages. I had some experience with C and C++. But that was 20 years ago. I want to relearn and have a new beginning.
