Ask HN: How do I learn modern JavaScript? I learned JavaScript in the days of of jQuery and W3Schools, and having taken a break from JavaScript since ES6 came out I feel lost whenever I see a snippet of modern JS these days. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good resource made for transitioning from ancient to modern JS? Thanks in advance! |
This doesn't include frameworks like React which is its own entire separate category of things. But at least you'll be comfortable with ES6 and node8+ at this point. If you're more interested in frontend modern JS unfortunately you'll also probably have to learn about babel and webpack and the like.
Also, here is a list of sources we recommend for learning JavaScript: https://github.com/ideatostartup/technologies#language
The articles are in reverse order, so you'll have to go to page 2 to get to the intro.
