I love tutorials like this. Often, courses start with a long winded, slow introduction covering the basics that takes sometimes hours.

[@bovineox1111]

Thanks for the video. For those watching, JS is not solely a client side language, it is a lightweight language that typically runs in the browser but it is not longer the sole place, things have moved a lot since 2014. JS is at the core of node and raw JS is good for Lambdas, particularly as the cold boot times are very low. It's also, very recently, the sole language supported by CloudFront functions that run at the very edge.

[@angledcoathanger]

This is very good because it is results-oriented teaching. He tells you the minimum you need to know to get a result. After you get the big picture, you can then go into the details. So many tutorials and teaching platforms don't get this. They start with the detail, so it takes forever before you can actually do something with your knowledge, by which time you've forgotten everything.

I wish, I had know this video existed 5 years ago. It just cut through all the bullshit and tech you the most basic but important parts of javascript in a layman language . Jake you are awesome.
