Go to course ↗

A Udemy video course that teaches modern JavaScript (ES6 and later) from the basics, taught by Andrew Mead. Commenters describe it as a foundation for building web apps. Some comments attribute the same title to other instructors, so check the instructor before enrolling.

Commenters call it well done and say it gives a solid grasp of the language and the ES6 features needed for later work, with Mead praised as a clear, beginner-friendly teacher.

    If you are looking for a good Udemy course to learn Javascript, I highly recommend Andrew Mead's Modern Javascript Bootcamp: https://www.udemy.com/course/modern-javascript/ He also has courses on Node and React.

    When it comes to video tutorials, I am biased towards Stephen Grider and Maximilian Schwarzmüller. They really take the time to actually explain what's going on and why they are doing things in a certain way. I haven't completed any of these courses, but I just went through their Udemy pages and…

    I'll repost my comment from over at r/flask in case anyone thinks this is actually the CORRECT way to make a Flask app. I don't want to pile on you or discourage you, but since you asked for feedback I'm going to be honest. This video (and your code) needs a **lot** of work if you want it to look…

    I am doing Udemy Colt Steele Web Dev too. I suggest you for JavaScript, do The Modern Javascript Bootcamp Course (2022) from Colt Steele. It is more comprehensive than JS part of web dev boot camp. Also, don't forget to follow The Odin Project, specially its projects.

  5. RecommendsZestyclose-Coyote398r/learnprogramming2022in “Honest recommendation required ( Should I learn JS first or React?)”

    Javascript. I’d recommend the Modern JavaScript Bootcamp course (Stephen Grider) on Udemy. It will explain the concepts you need to know before getting into react.

  6. RecommendsRayTracedTearsr/webdev2022in “i paid 35 dollars on an incompetant s*it f*cker who didnt explain this thing and how it works, i am trying to send the bottom text to the bottom and make a link that sends me there but instead the link goes to the bottom for some reason, sorry the lauguage i am just mad right now.”

    All jokes aside, "The Odin Project" is a terrific free resource. Also udemy is great too, just make sure you get the courses on sale ($15\~$25), and make sure it's a recommended course as well. "The Modern JavaScript Bootcamp" course by Colt Steele on Udemy is the course the webdev reddit…

    I bought Steels course in 2018 and all I can say is that colt is a passionate instructor who knows how to deliver knowledge simply and straightforwardly to all students no matter where their level stands. I'd recommend it since it's comprehensive and covers the needed technologies that make a…

    I have the basics of HTML & CSS pretty well down. I feel I can create just about any layout that I might want to at this point. HTML & CSS were pretty easy for me, mostly. When I started JS, that's when things got difficult. I have a pretty good grasp on the basics of JS, functions, loops…

    Hi! For languages I focused on Javascript, HTML and CSS. I picked React as a front-end framework, and since I wanted to do full-stack I also learned NodeJS/Express (for server-side JS) and MongoDB/Mongoose (NoSQL database). I found Codecademy and W3Schools to be really beneficial when I was just…

    How I learned was Colt Steele's JS course on Udemy (buy on sale), can also recommend Andrew Mead, and then The Odin Project for projects and addition stuff. Frameworks and libraries are just tools other people have made to make shit easier. Nothing special. You borrow them, learn how to use those…

    The Odin Project is good for Javascript, but I suggest learning HTML and CSS quite well before that. They're easy enough to get down and you'll use them a lot later, but Odin doesn't fully guide you through them. FreeCodeCamp is good with Youtube and free documentation out there like that from…

    Read the side-bar and FAQ of this sub, and look into /r/webdev. Look into The Odin Project and FreeCodeCamp. Follow FCC for HTMl and CSS basics, explore Youtube and MDN tutorials. You can learn all this for free. For JavaScript, I suggest following the same structure, but recommend Colt Steele's…

    Those crash-course videos are really only good for review once you know shit. Otherwise they're very challenging. I can recommend Colt Steele's Javascript course on Udemy. You can snag courses there on sale--which they run like every 4 days or something. It was like $14 for me. Heavy on theory…

  14. RecommendsFataltc2002r/startups2021in “Teaching myself to code. Where to start?”▲ 7

    try a udemy course. I highly advise learning javascript. A) it's friendly to beginners and is easy to pick, B) Large community which is always willing to help, C) Used to build websites but can also be used to build both android and Ios apps (through react native). There's a really good course on…

    This is pretty good, but I'd suggest this order: 1. Zero to Mastery by Andrei 2. Advanced CSS by Jonas 3. JavaScript by Jonas (would recommend Anthony Alicea's JS course) 4 + 5. Colt Steele's DS & Algorithms course alongside Andrei's senior course (although personally i didnt gain much out of this…

  20. RecommendsRSpringer242r/webdev2018in “What to pick up after Colt Steele's Web Dev Bootcamp in 2019?”

    I would recommend you do Andrew Mead's Udemy Course 'The Modern Javascript BootCamp' You will definitely pick up all the ES6 that you need. I find him to be the best instructor out of everyone.

    My journey started last year. I wasn't very productive the first 6 months though, only learning about 1-2 hours a week. However, I really focused the last 6 months. The beginning was the hardest.

    I'll start by saying that you should note the question that were asked to you. Maybe contact the company, and ask them for the question because you would like to review them. Not sure you'll get anything out of it, but you never know. Interviews looks the same. I bombed a shit ton of interviews…

    Colt is a great teacher, but the course I did was outdated. The HTML and CSS parts were quite good and still are, but it taught the old version of javascript (not going much in depth) and there are plenty of changes in ES6 so I would advise against taking it. You are right about FCC, it teaches…
