This is a walk-through of the steps I personally took in a single year, to begin learning JavaScript. My goal was to be able to get a job in a position where Javascript would be at the forefront of what I do on a daily basis. I should make it clear that my journey wasn’t as smooth as what I’m about to present to you, this should give you a much smoother ride. The inspiration for writing this article is that I’ve been asked how I’ve gotten to the level I’m at in JavaScript in just under a year. (Currently working full time as a javaScript developer at BSkyB.) When I started it would have been great to have a pointer toward relevant information and resources to get me on my way. The hardest part for me was the middle ground. There are plenty of resources for beginners and for advanced but the intermediate content was a harder to come by, so I will make sure to include what I did there. One last point before I start is a massive disclaimer, I’m by no means at an expert level and I’m still learning lots but I also don’t foresee that learning progression about to stop anytime soon. When it comes to coding no one is the best and if you really enjoy it you’ll always keep progressing.
