New Way to Learn JavaScript
Let’s back to 1990 and see what tools we had to learn JavaScript and after an amount of research, we found that Web Browser an only tool to learn it.
The only JavaScript environment that we had that time was Web Browser, we started our learning with browser provided APIs like
# alert()
# confirm()
# prompt()
# document.write()
# document.getElementById()
Do we really need this approach to learn JavaScript?
No, we do not need it, but we used it because of the environment, it has these basic methods to start.
This starting gave us the direction of DOM manipulation and confuse us about JavaScript, our focus shifted in direction of DOM manipulation instead of the core concept of JavaScript.
What could be NEW WAY TO LEARN JAVA SCRIPT?
As we have Node.Js environment to run JavaScript, we can use this environment to learn JavaScript.
Please remember the way, how we learn C, C++, python programming languages, we started with the total focus on programming languages concepts with the iterative process of coding and compilation with a command line.
In the same way, we can learn JavaScript.
