Yes! 100%! A lot of this video seemed to be about problems that don't exist in typescript. ... We knew it was (in most/many cases) better back in early 2000 (with other Web languages), it's just as much/even more so today.
@@c1u3 TypeScript is a compiled version of JavaScript. TypeScript adds type syntax to JavaScript, which is used to prevent errors such as assigning a number to a string variable.
Interesting, I was just reading a report where the principal developer behind Svelte says TypeScript is “not worth it” for developing libraries. Instead, interface types are declared using JSDoc annotations.
I like how you mention items people need to know when learning. I am learning and find people staying too simple, not adequate explaining, or being extremely complex. You are in the middle where many of us need help. I will be watching for your crash course.
I think a part two would be warranted covering: 1. Objects and how inheritance works 2. JavaScript's class syntactical sugar 3. Protected and private class properties and methods 4. How to implement OOP and functional programming with JavaScript
I am on my 6th month in college for web dev and javascript has been allot to take in, I absolutely love watching your videos when I'm stuck on assignments. You explain things very well! Thank you for doing these videos! Your awesome 🙂
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.
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.
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'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!

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
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.
Hi James, I'm new to JavaScript, but not programming. Most TH-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 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
I started with C and then javascript then Data structure & algorithm , after that the speed at which I understand inner details increased exponentially.
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
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.
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.
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.
If you guys don't have anything good for him, don't say anything bad. he is just sharing his knowledge and guiding you. I liked what he mentioned in this video.
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) 😫😫
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.
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 🙂
Many people are misunderstanding the concept of promises and async/await. Almost everyone refers to them as "promises or async/await" when in fact, they are both promises but you have 2 different ways of handling those promises. So you have promises in either cases with two ways of handling them: 1. with 'thenables' 2. with async/await which is just syntactic sugar. People should really understand that it's wrong to say "should I use promises or async/await" because they are all promises that willresolve to a value in the future. The difference is how you handle them, via thenable or via async/await. This is where most begineers fail to graps the concept and they get the overcome the state of being a junior and still wrongly refer to these.
6. Higher order functions. 7. Testing frameworks like Jest + Cypress - Ever worked on a project and put in dummy JSON in place of a ‘real endpoint’ whilst you’re waiting for it to be built by the back end team only to swap it in when it becomes available? There’s no need to do this. Set up Cypress to stub out the real API response with your dummy JSON and keep the real request where it belongs. Also put in all the edge cases that might be in the data into that dummy JSON and write some tests for them. 8. TypeScript Generics - not knowing this is like trying to speak Spanish without the subjunctive tense. 9. Write testable units of code (not just a JS thing). 10. Learn what goes where in a js project, like if you get something from the store in a deeply nested component and you start making computations on that store item in that component then every instance of that component is doing that computation. It could have been done once in the store.
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!
I have done all the things you mention in JavaScript even prototypes, equal tripple equal, Asynchronous, Ajax, jQuery, Error Handling, array functions and so on
Error handling is a MUST regardless of language. This is not an explicitly javascript issue. No one will let you write code that you haven't tested, part of testing your code is sending it wrong data and see if it behaves and add error handling to fix that. So as a PROgrammer, pro as in getting paid or serious about the science and art of developing software, I urge to handle some edge cases. " !Unknown Error" sucks. Why? "Know what knows what it means, but it gets the people(blood) going(boiling)." Yep, that **** cray! You can also some browser built-in function or Web API features to check what's being submitted and stop it before it gets to your code. But regardless, as a dev, you have a responsibility to deploy tested code. Error Handling is a huge chunk of dealing with edge cases.
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 TH-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
The error handling section made me appreciate how much hand holding TypeScript does in this regard. I don't have to worry about most of the things he is talking about when using TS.
Thank you for this incredible video, I have a question that If I'm new to Array Methods. What I should do to get familiar with them all? And another question is do you solve leetcode on a daily basis and post it on your channel, If the answer is yes, should I learn the way you code, your answer in leetcode by rote? Thank you!
Started working in react .netcore projects since last 2 months can’t emphasise more on how much these features are important. In react world once you start knowing react on how it works how the logic flows you realise more thats the crux is JavaScript. The more better you get at modern JavaScript the more better react developer i became.
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.
Excellent video, I would just recommend avoiding over checking because it is often a sign of misunderstanding the workflow and its preconditions. I would also say don't try catch everything because it will lead your app to fall into inconsistent state
Another big one, although outside of the scope of this video, is cli syntax! Also, within the scope of this video: Inheritance (Classes and object notation), Encapsulation, Polymorphisms, and Abstraction
being a react dev, I can assure you that the topics James mentioned you will encounter them all the time, other than es6 syntax and array methods which help you write cleaner code and save time, you can't go anywhere without knowing async js and equality
Great breakdown. Async javascript can get confusing as hell especially since you can't easily follow what applications are running and when.. so having an understanding of these things are important as well as debugging network calls within your web application (but that isn't specific to javascript only)
Out of my limited view as a Senior EcmaScript Engine Implementation guy is that you should Learn about "Strings" in JS as you most time interact with "Chars" and Text Represented as String and in JS a String is a chain of UTF.8 chars by definition. that leads to the fundamental that diffrent data can result in the same String that gets represented as output while matching it is a diffrent string. Anyway funny that you rate Execution more importent then the fundamentals.
I watched this video several months back and I didn't quite understand. I was also struggling to stay motivated so I was just trying to cut corners by watching this video 😂 but I understand now. Thank you.
In one case a friend of mine had some problems with a website he developed and he had to develop a feature to show a photo upon mos over of a smaller image and he invited me to have a coffee and in meantime I wrote the JavaScript code to do it and it worked. He was amazed how fast I could do it.
Thanks! Subscribed. Yes please : crash course on the top 5 would be awesome. Taking a giant tutorial with 100 subjects I might remember 2. Taking one on a focused 5, I remember all.
Two important things are missing: prototyping and "this". Both differ wildly from other OO languages. And you'll never learn them if you don't do it actively. ES6, error handling and array-methods are things you'll just come across in existing code and you'll get the idea.
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.

Started working more with javascript, this video has been a great help.
Thank you for the short version!
Omw to the array playlist.
The error handling section made me appreciate how much hand holding TypeScript does in this regard. I don't have to worry about most of the things he is talking about when using TS.
Thank you for this incredible video, I have a question that If I'm new to Array Methods. What I should do to get familiar with them all? And another question is do you solve leetcode on a daily basis and post it on your channel, If the answer is yes, should I learn the way you code, your answer in leetcode by rote? Thank you!
Started working in react .netcore projects since last 2 months can’t emphasise more on how much these features are important. In react world once you start knowing react on how it works how the logic flows you realise more thats the crux is JavaScript. The more better you get at modern JavaScript the more better react developer i became.
These five are definitely very important. Good video!
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.
this is so important for interviews. u must know this 5! thank you for ur help
Over a year ago and still the best advice I've gotten
Really enjoy your teaching style. You have my vote for making that in-depth Javascript course you mentioned towards the end. 🙏
The way you explained complex concepts with such clarity and simplicity is commendable. 👍👍👍
Excellent video, I would just recommend avoiding over checking because it is often a sign of misunderstanding the workflow and its preconditions.
I would also say don't try catch everything because it will lead your app to fall into inconsistent state
Another big one, although outside of the scope of this video, is cli syntax!
Also, within the scope of this video:
Inheritance (Classes and object notation), Encapsulation, Polymorphisms, and Abstraction
5:47, miss landing you said ES2005 and is ES2015. Great video.
My JavaScript is *very* rusty! This is super helpful to get back into .js shape. Thank you!
You came up on my yesterday, and this is the second video of yours I've watched. You're spot on. Subscribed!
Yes! A crash course tackling these subjects, Awesome!
Very helpful my man. I feel I get lost often with Javascript and I'm glad you have vids to can help further explain the simple things
being a react dev, I can assure you that the topics James mentioned you will encounter them all the time, other than es6 syntax and array methods which help you write cleaner code and save time, you can't go anywhere without knowing async js and equality
Great breakdown. Async javascript can get confusing as hell especially since you can't easily follow what applications are running and when.. so having an understanding of these things are important as well as debugging network calls within your web application (but that isn't specific to javascript only)
Out of my limited view as a Senior EcmaScript Engine Implementation guy is that you should Learn about "Strings" in JS as you most time interact with "Chars" and Text Represented as String and in JS a String is a chain of UTF.8 chars by definition.
that leads to the fundamental that diffrent data can result in the same String that gets represented as output while matching it is a diffrent string. Anyway funny that you rate Execution more importent then the fundamentals.
totally agree. Now I need polish my javascript again. thank you!
I watched this video several months back and I didn't quite understand. I was also struggling to stay motivated so I was just trying to cut corners by watching this video 😂 but I understand now. Thank you.
In one case a friend of mine had some problems with a website he developed and he had to develop a feature to show a photo upon mos over of a smaller image and he invited me to have a coffee and in meantime I wrote the JavaScript code to do it and it worked. He was amazed how fast I could do it.
this keyword is important too. Knowing the scope helps a lot when debugging
Arrow functions and Anonymous functions are really good to know when learning React
Thanks! Subscribed. Yes please : crash course on the top 5 would be awesome. Taking a giant tutorial with 100 subjects I might remember 2. Taking one on a focused 5, I remember all.
Great video!! Crash course for all these topics - awesome idea!!
Two important things are missing: prototyping and "this".
Both differ wildly from other OO languages. And you'll never learn them if you don't do it actively.
ES6, error handling and array-methods are things you'll just come across in existing code and you'll get the idea.
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.
Different trains of thought is something I encourage. I don’t expect to have the answer for everyone :)
Your series on Array methods was/is extremely helpful for a learner.
Glad to hear it!
I feel so overwhelmed 😞 I hope in another few years I’ll start to progress. Struggling a lot with learning and feeling like I’m not progressing.
Awesome video! Count me in for your crash course !
