Some general youtube channels and resources for beginners
Steve Griffith - https://www.youtube.com/@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3/videos
Apparently an actual professor. has made videos about multiple topics like pub sub model, css inheritance etc.
Web dev simplified - https://www.youtube.com/@WebDevSimplified
Ignore the clickbait title videos and don't watch them but some of the general javascript content is pretty good. Closures, promises, event delegation that stuff.
Website Architect - https://www.youtube.com/@thewebsitearchitect
focuses on ux/ui. Haven't watched all videos but what I watched was good.
some structured courses :
Scrimba - https://scrimba.com/home
The advanced javascript content is paid but the free basic js and react courses are good. They have you work in internet IDE so you might not learn about setting up local dev environment properly.
The Odin Project - https://www.theodinproject.com/paths
Personal recommendation. Provides a structured course to for anyone of any skill level. Teaches HTML, CSS, JS, React, Express and Postgres. frequently links to good outside resources but also has inhouse lessons that are good. Most of the resources docs/blogs so if you don't like reading it might not be good.

@bfmv I'm posting it all here since it's better channel for this
* https://www.youtube.com/@freecodecamp: Lots of good content. Also their website is an amazing learning resource
* https://www.youtube.com/@bootdotdev: Focused on back-end, great content and their podcast is good too
* https://www.youtube.com/@theavocoder: Best visualizations of JS that I've ever seen
* https://www.youtube.com/@ColorCode-io: Comfy conversationalist while teaching JS
* https://www.youtube.com/@IAmTimCorey: C# focused, but his podcast/playlist Dev Questions has great general advice for everyone
color code is good. Can't belive I forgot about him, his video about constructors and this helped me a lot.
Did you see that RunJS made a ColorCode colour scheme for their app? Since that's what he uses in all his videos
Nah I am wasn't aware of the ide he was using. I always thought it was some extension of vs code that creates a window with hiddent ui
That enivroment variables feature is pretty cool not on free tier tho. might try it out just for typescript learning.
Talking about using RunJS

How I Practice JavaScript Super Fast!
https://runjs.app/ColorCode
I use RunJS every day to test ideas, debug weirdness, and teach JavaScript more clearly. It’s my favorite playground for writing and running code fast—without spinning up a whole project. If you're learning JS or just want a faster workflow, check it out.
omggg thanks guys
cool
Added I Am Tim Corey to the list
I think I dabbled a bit with him when I tried c# sadly I was very inexperienced and couldn't understand much
I still can't understand C#, but his Dev Questions podcast is baller
also on RUNjs I did try it but it seems it gives you a limited amount of code executions. I got a notification that I had 100 more executions left, It was still servicable but wasn't applicable for me when I was learning TS and changing code every 5 second so I didn't use it any more
The free version has limited runs, yes. So I suggest going into settings and turning off Auto-Run. That way it doesn't run every time you add a character. Then you can use the Run command (
CMD + R on mac) to run when you're at a point where you want it to runOh yeah. I didn't think of turning that off yeah that'd be better
thanks
👍
Wow, all these are good resources. I’ve been grinding TOP a year now
thanks guys😋
