Man... this video turned waaaay more useful than I thought. As someone who writes JavaScript but doesn't have a clue what they are doing...this is solid advice.

Hi James, I'm new to JavaScript, but not programming. Most UA-cam tutorials are for beginners with very basic explanations of what variables are, why we need them etc. That's great for the beginners who need it, but not the best use time for me (and probably many others). I'm looking for more 'developer's wisdom' type of videos such as this one. I'm looking forward to your crash course video(s), especially if it contains some lessons of what you learned (the hard way) from experience. Thanks for this excellent video!! ...........Liked and subscribed
Thank you for this awesome summary. It really gets to the heart of what constitutes a comprehensive JS programming skillset, and provides an excellent perspective. Yes I would most certainly follow a course that you put together on these 5 topics
I can't stop using [array methods] since I started but sometimes it can be a bad habit. Array methods cannot be broken out of so be mindful with big datasets or searching. Great video!
I've been programming since I was 10. I've been doing it for a living for 27 years. I've done projects in most major languages. I wrote a single page app with vanilla JS about 10 years ago. I've been writing a new SPA with VueJS for the past couple of months. This is a really good list for beginning JS programmers.
I started learning js a few months ago and these 5 things were literally my biggest hurdles until recently. It's ironic that you pointed them out perfectly
Knowing how pass by reference and pass by value work in javascript is also important, it's basically how primitives vs objects are treated. And not just async / await, the event loop in general, this will introduce stuff like requestAnimationFrame in browsers and process.tick in Node. The best thing is the ability to write javascript that is easy to read. It's very hard to make sure everyone can read your code. This will introduce linters and beautifiers to beginners. Finally, I also suggest everyone to switch to typescript because it's a better superset and there isn't really a reason not to.
Agree on the pass by reference vs value question. Especially with arrays it can be non-obvious to the beginner. Some Array methods create new arrays, others modify the array in place. This leads to statements that look strange like arr2 = arr1.concat(); Why would you concatenate arr1 with nothing? Well, this is how you crate a copy of an array.
There is no pass by reference in JS, only pass by value. If you were passing in by reference, you could change when the reference is pointing to, like you can in C, but you can't. You are passing a reference by value, which is different from passing by reference.
Great video! Lately, I've been more disciplined in doing back to basics learning, and totally agree with the points you made. I have found sometimes, with work I would forget to think about some of them following the patterns and pre-existing code. Another one I think I would like to learn about is logging and alerting for your application. Perhaps that topic is more its own topic, but definitely something I would like to learn more about specifically around monitoring and alerting for your applications.
Asynchronous JS and Error Handling are the most important things that will level up your coding - I would have also added testing. I think everything else is superfluous
I'd add to the list Callbacks + Prototype & Prototypal Inheritance, which both of them relate to knowing Objects in JS. Those are ones that are most used and can be a bit hard to grasp for beginners. Afterwards try applying basic principles like DRY and KISS. Cheers!
What are those VSCode extensions you’re using for logging in the editor? Actually, it’d be nice if you have a list of recommended extensions in relation to JS and React 🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I have been living under a rock since I built my last great webapp, I got javascript certification in 08 without ever actually needing it before then and couldn't understand why the programing meme group was always saying how hard it was, then I started to learn one of the modern frameworks and was completely unaware that es6 changes were now standard and I finally understood why everyone was saying it was difficult. This doesn't really resemble the JS I learned back then, but after watching your video and looking up these things it makes a lot more sense now.
Great list, I would say truthy/falsely checking is another fundamental basic thing that tends to boggle the mind of a lot of people I see learning JS for the first time.
I just started out and I love watching these type of videos. Today, right now, I only kinda know what your talking about, but I know that in a few months when I re-watch this, I'll be taking notes frantically and get right into practicing. 😄 Honestly, one of the things that attracted me to coding was the fact that I'll never be able to learn EVERYTHING. There will always be new things to discover and new problems that will no doubt drive me crazy and have me spend hours (days? More?) looking for a solution. I'm just sad that I have to waste time at my day job (where I feel like I've reached the final level and have nowhere left to climb) 😫😫
You forgot TypeScript, coming from JavaScript it's the best thing to learn nowadays and it saves a lot of time when developing, helping with type checking, documentation and (last but not least) autocompletion.
I started with C and then javascript then Data structure & algorithm , after that the speed at which I understand inner details increased exponentially.
2:00 is correct in what the effect is, but for the wrong reasons. In JS, you're not working with objects, but with object references. So when you compare them with == it does exactly what makes sense, it compares the references, not the object that they refer to. It's the same as comparing two pointers in C/C++, it's just that JS variables being pointers is implicit,
As a lead developer, I can confidently agree that asynchronous code is probably the most important concept to grasp when learning JS. Also, learn Array.reduce() like the back of your hand. Will literally save you many lines of code.
Prefer for loops over reduce. Both read the same, but for loops doesn't create a performance time complexity for no reason. Plus it can be easily refactored to for..of for (async) iterators and generators when you need it.
i've been learning JS during covid, this is a great review and clarification, excited to check out more of your videos....thank you for this content! and YES to the crash course!

I like this guy. Seems like an actual subject matter expert, which is rare. After years in test engineering I’m trying to broaden my scope and really understand the language I’m using daily (trust me you can be a great QA Engineer and not really know how it’s working). Anyway, a shocking number of YT channels seem to have no evidence they’ve ever coded anything, and just make videos about vaguely what to learn (hTmL cSs aNd reaCT gUys) and then a lot more videos on career advice and how much money they make 😂 I’m convinced at least a couple of them have never coded at all and just used UA-cam tricks to make a channel about it. I respect the hustle I guess but it’s really not helpful. Anyway thanks, even in this quick high level summary you gave code examples so I’ll definitely be subbing and going through this channel’s backlog
Thanks for putting out these videos. Although I might not agree with some topics because of Typescript, I value your opinion just because it is different from mine and you take the time to make a video about it.
Excellent video, guiding me what to learn next. Struggling with some of these concepts as currently learning react on top of decent but patchy JS skills...
These are Interesting insights about some of the key concepts about JavaScript! Asynchronous, ES6 Syntax and Error handling are areas to focus on especially for senior JavaScript developers.
The first one was SUPER helpful for me. I was really confused about why a line or block of code that has equality could have === or ==. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!
