Comprehensive tutorials for beginners and advanced developers. Learn modern JavaScript with hands-on examples and real-world projects.
Start LearningJavaScript is the programming language of the web. Start with these fundamental concepts to build a strong foundation.
Learn how to store and manipulate data in JavaScript:
// Variable declaration
let message = "Hello";
const PI = 3.14;
var count = 10;
// Data types
let name = "Alice"; // string
let age = 25; // number
let isStudent = true; // boolean
Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks:
// Function declaration
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}
// Function expression
const add = function(a, b) {
return a + b;
};
// Arrow function (ES6+)
const multiply = (a, b) => a * b;
Control the flow of your program with conditionals and loops:
// If-else statement
let temperature = 25;
if (temperature > 30) {
console.log("It's hot!");
} else if (temperature > 20) {
console.log("It's warm.");
} else {
console.log("It's cool.");
}
// For loop
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
console.log(i);
}
Take your JavaScript skills to the next level with these advanced concepts and techniques.
Understand how JavaScript manages variable scope and closures:
// Closure example
function createCounter() {
let count = 0;
return function() {
count++;
return count;
};
}
const counter = createCounter();
console.log(counter()); // 1
console.log(counter()); // 2
JavaScript's prototype-based inheritance system:
// Constructor function
function Person(name, age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
// Adding method to prototype
Person.prototype.greet = function() {
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name}`);
};
// ES6 Class
class Student extends Person {
constructor(name, age, grade) {
super(name, age);
this.grade = grade;
}
}
Working with asynchronous operations in JavaScript:
// Promise example
function fetchData(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => resolve(data))
.catch(error => reject(error));
});
}
// Async/Await
async function getData() {
try {
const data = await fetchData('https://api.example.com/data');
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
JavaScript runs on virtually every device with a web browser, making it the most widely deployed programming language.
JavaScript developers are among the highest paid and most sought-after professionals in the tech industry.
With Node.js, JavaScript can be used for both frontend and backend development, enabling full stack applications.
The basics of JavaScript can be learned in a few weeks, but mastering it takes months to years of practice. You can start building simple projects within a month, but becoming proficient enough for professional work typically takes 6-12 months of consistent learning and practice.
It's highly recommended to learn core JavaScript first before jumping into frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue. Understanding the fundamentals will make learning frameworks much easier and help you solve problems more effectively when things don't work as expected.
While JavaScript started as a web language, it's now used in many other areas thanks to platforms like Node.js. You can use JavaScript for mobile app development (React Native), desktop apps (Electron), server-side programming (Node.js), game development, and even IoT applications.
