JavaScript is so populaire last years. Every year there is a poll by stackoverflow that shows this. A lot of codenewbies are also very interested in learning it. But how do you start with learning JavaScript if you know HTML & CSS?

In this post I love to tell you more and give you a 3-step action plan to get started.

1. Start with the theory first!

When you think about learning JavaScript you propably know what you can build with it. Diving into the cool stuff and complicated stuff sounds nice but can make you feel like drowning!

I started with jQuery in early 2009, but it wasn’t the best idea. I got some things working and that felt good! Until the point bugs started to happen 🥴

Because I didn’t invest time in learning some theory on how things work in JavaScript, I got stuck! From that moment I decided to invest time in diving into the theory.

2. Apply theory in small projects

When learning a thing in the theory, it’s good to practice it in your projects.
