[@captainboon2978]

I really appreciate your understanding of where beginners are at; I wish more professionals would have this same level of understanding. Right now, I'm pursuing front-end development because, from my understanding, it's the easiest way to get your foot in the door of the coding industry. When I was learning and using HTML and CSS, I felt so confident, that, for the most part, I knew what I was doing, then along comes JavaScript. Learning JavaScript itself isn't the worst thing in the world; it's all these extra things that come along as a consequence of learning JavaScript that throws away that previous confidence I had. I'm not going to give up though; I've come too far. Eventually, I would like to get into back-end work, but hopefully in due time. I like your rant videos; keep them coming.

[@Segero19]

Damn... my thoughts exactly. Started the same way being confident with HTML and CSS and then having everything go to hell at JS :D

[@conrad42]

I'm not sure what "beginner" means in this context. Did you had prior programming experience or is web-dev your entry to programming in general? What I'm a bit confused about (in the video) is, that every layer (front-end, back-end, etc) is mentioned. You can implement a lot of ideas, without any backend or NPM - just a plain HTML file. For storage, just use localStorage, you want to use Vue, just use the instance version of it (no transpiling/NPM/WebPack needed) and most of the component frameworks work with just a simple css file import. For my personal projects or prototypes I still go this way, because it removes a lot of overhead. I started my career (10 years ago) with just front-end knowledge and it worked well, because I was good at a specific filed in development (so even experienced devs could learn from me, because they were back-end heavy) and the rest was covered by other developers. And the benefit is, you can learn from your colleagues (on the job) to maybe become a full-stack developer.

[@Sergeant_Camacho]

THIS! When you pass away the HTML/CSS "safe-space" and you start with JavaScript... the honeymoon ends; but you need to keep punching the bag, you will develop and learn skills that you never thought you had.

I get the frustration. Starting as a backend developer, I myself was a JS hater for a long time. But having used JavaScript in real projects for some years now (as there's really no good alternative), I changed my mind: User interfaces are inherently hard, specially at scale. And I am very grateful of JS and all the libraries, frameworks and services that really do help us developers get things done efficiently. We may not have solved the UI problem completely yet (and probably never will) but we sure have come a long way.

JS is a nightmare, TypeScript was created so the JS mess can be little bit more manageable. JS was initially created by one guy in a week or so, because he wanted to display something dynamically in a web page. It was neither planned nor designed to become the de-facto standard for all web clients. If JS was remotely close to a good language, then there wouldn't be so many attempts to fix it (talking about Flash, Silverlight, WebAssembly, Blazor-C#, Flutter-Dart, TypeScript itself etc.). Hopefully Blazor and Flutter will be the future of the Web.

JS in one sentence : "Makes me cry"

[@MrAverageViewer]

Mike, THANK YOU for empathizing with the struggles beginners go through when trying to learn how to code! Too many so-called 'expert' instructors, are clueless when it comes to teaching programing. This is why I appreciate the relatable analogies you use, when you teach. In too many courses, terminology is thrown around, without even defining the term: "Instantiate", "Recursion", "Polymorphism", "Single Binary", "Static vs Dynamic", "Call", are examples of vocabulary that take on a different meaning in the coding world. The 'experts' take that for granted. One can be a great coder, while being a lousy coding instructor. Worse yet, the term "an easy" programming language, or an "easy" framework, comes from the mouths of people who have coded for 10+ years; with ZERO relatability to the struggles of newbies. Keep up the great work, and we wait eagerly for your upcoming courses! I hope you would cover the GOLANG, language, and perhaps even ELIXIR & PHOENIX, if possible. Many thanks!!

[@jbar6408]

I totally feel this way. Been working in my spare time trying to learn JavaScript and I have hit a wall. HTML and CSS were no problem and even learning the basics of JavaScript was fine. But then when I sit down and try to create something, I find that there are all these intricacies in just getting an app to run with JS and I feel defeated. Trying to push through. Mike’s vids have been very helpful. It’s nice to know that I’m not stupid and that JS implementation is very hard.

[@tiagomota4734]

Yeah because thats the problem for most of the ppl, they watch tutorials and it seems so easy ...its like yeah i understand everything but when they want to actually build somehting all of a sudden everyhitng seems impossible! The way to do it is to try to build something after you watch a bit and no you will not understand anything and ...solve problems and then get things but it takes alot of fuken time....obviously. Im leaning PHP now for the exact reasons that the guy talked about...and after PHP i will learn java script but with php its the same , you watch you kinda think you got it and then if somebody tells you to do the most basic shyte there is, you just cannnt even think about how to do it. IF you cannot imagine the steps then you cannot do shit , and then you research , you do it with mostly copying code and then try to understand it , break the code down in pieces get one thing out of 10 then do another project , where now the code seems familiar , still you dont get it but you learn another thing on top of the 1 think that you know, copy the code make a sign up or a register and then you investigate what you just did and again and again and after 2-3 months some things start to make sense and you kinda create a process in your head , you learn to think what the fucken cormputer whats you to and hopefully after 1 year you can actually create things by yourself ! Its not an overnight process and because the concepts are weird its hard to gasp it at first!

I might be totally wrong but. After hearing u talked abt what js was meant to do in the beginning, I kind of understand why it is so piled up. Yes, i wish there is an more integrated language system for it. Last but not least, thank you so much for developing so much tutorials!

But yes I started learning JavaScript, Node, and React early last year and even though I am coding and working on projects every day for most of the day I still feel like there is a lot more to learn. And with unlimited ways to implement the same functionality, is can be difficult to stay consistent. I often find myself looking at old work and wanting rearrange everything utilizing techniques that I've learned since the last time I've looked at that project. I find it funny how much time I spent struggling with trying to understand the fundamentals, and now every so often I will read some documentation or watch a video on some of the fundamental basics of JavaScript and think about how hard it was for me to understand the first time but now the concepts are so clear.

[@thegreatprogrammer5937]

I too felt very difficult when I came to js, even though I knew Python, Java when I came to JS

[@glyakk]

I agree with your take on the situation. JavaScript is a different animal than other languages. It always feels like you are aiming at a moving target but there is a good portion of the language that is supported by almost all browsers that cover almost all of what most people need to do in the language. That is a lot of qualifiers which makes for a lot of gray areas. I do not think JS is a bad language to start out with though since there are SO MANY resources available. However, I believe we do not do a great job setting up expectations of the language and how it is different from other languages. Most resources make it seem like it is easy, which it can be if you are aware of the pitfalls. We should be honest when we are helping students 'color between the lines' and not be alarmed when they 'hit the edges' causing the whole thing to fall apart.

[@lauralagora]

I agree on everything you said here. I've been learning programming (JavaScript/TypeScript) for 6 months now and mannn the more I learn it, the more I realise how beginner unfriendly it is... I probably wouldn't recommend it to a friend as their first language to learn (probably better to start off with Python to learn those base programming concepts). But with all of that said - I still really love JS and do not regret that I started with it and I'm pretty sure it will remain my main language :D ^^ Can we expect to see TypeScript tutorial series? And how to work with TypeScript in React?

Look, as a begginer i gotta say first that you are the best teacher i have ever seen, that's for first, second you are pretty right,i think that (No connection to JS) i think that there's require a change in the whole world of programming, programming can be seen at first as something really difficult and complicated, and then people can be afraid to go and learn programming, like i did at first, i was really afraid until i met you. But if people will make programming a little bit more easier to learn, there will be just more people coming to this industry and they can really jump up the level of this industry. That is just my opinion

I just realized that I’d rather continue learning and doing web development stuff in my free time rather than doing it as a career.
