The Complete JavaScript Course by Jonas Schmedtmann on Udemy is a long, project-based course covering JavaScript from basic editor setup and programming thinking through medium-hard topics, built around several applications. Commenters say it runs to roughly 70-80 hours of video.

Commenters call it thorough, in depth, and gentle in difficulty, and say it ramps up slowly enough that beginners don't feel lost.

    I struggled with JavaScript in the Odin project too, but instead of doing a fullstack web dev course, I did just a JavaScript course by a guy named jonas, it was really good and in depth!

  2. Strongly recommends_ColtonAllen-Devr/learnprogramming2021in “Age 26, too late to start?”▲ 2

    Of course. I'm completely self taught, if you don't count online courses, that is. I started with the freecodecamp.com last July like many recommend, and honestly, it's great, but it wasn't for me. My style of learning requires real-life examples that resemble cases where you would actually come…

  3. Strongly recommendsJazkOWr/learnprogramming2020in “Most efficient self-teaching methods?”▲ 2

    What type of learner are you? If money is no issue you can get some decent courses for $12 in Udemy, I can recommend the Best Seller of Jonas for JS, goes from code editor, how to think like a programmer up to medium-hard topics in JS -over 80 hours- of video content. I would recommend you start…

    Jonas udemy courses are brilliantly simple to understand and engaging…try his Javascript and HTML/CSS courses

  5. RecommendsKind-Enthusiasm-1109r/learnprogramming2022in “Help finding online courses that give you a qualification for a job.”

    I would say that anything that helps you just get coding and going is worth it. The key is to develop that understanding and practice. I like Jonas Schneidemann's JS course, also Colt Steele's web dev bootcamp. I would recommend starting with Odin Project and see if you can be self driven enough…

  6. Recommends0biWanJabr0nir/learnprogramming2022in “how long did it take you to learn coding?”

    I've just been using Udemy courses from all the people you mentioned except for Angela Yu and I love it so far. I do recommend Jonas for the JS course. His doesn't ramp up in difficulty so quickly that you suddenly feel like you are totally lost. I kind of got that with Maximilian and Johns…

  7. Recommendsausdougr/Entrepreneur2022in “I see a lot of comments about learning to code. but learn to code what exactly?”

    OK, so 'code' is more than the language. It's how to build useful tools and products with software. This could be something as simple as an excel spreadsheet that automates business functions, but you've got to understand data and how it all works. I would say starting with something like the free…

    Do what works for you! :D Personally, I didn't take Angela's course so I don't know if it's any good. I went the Jonas Schmedtmann way (had to copy paste his name haha). He's got 4 courses (HTML&CSS, CSS, JS and BACKEND. I'm currently on CSS and really enjoy his style of teaching) and he's working…

  9. RecommendsSplinteredResolver/learnprogramming2022in “Should I learn web development with codecademy pro or udemy courses.”▲ 4

    Jonas Schmedtmanns html/css and Javascript courses are great on Udemy. I would advise against Angela Yu's web development course though.

    If I was in your position, one of the biggest assets you have is time and some of the best resources for learning available right at your fingertips. ** Have you ever tried learning to code? ** It’s actually much easier that you’d think but requires a few years to master. If you’re highly driven…

    Hey man! Off the top of my head, Traversy Media, Wes Bos, Level Up Tutorials and Net Ninja all offer FREE tutorials on Youtube. Between the 4 of them, they cover an insanely wide spectrum of topics, and they are constantly putting out new content. CSS, JavaScript, HTML, React, everything. These…

    CS50 is a great place to start. I'd also recommend the Mimo app if you want to learn on the go, their lessons are snack-sized so they're perfect when you get a break or have to go use the bathroom. If you wanna start with web development, I'd highly recommend any course from Stephen Grider on…
